I laughed so much at the Knitting Club yesterday evening
that my face is literally aching. Finally finished an oversized gilet that I started
about 20 years ago. Ate the most delicious poppy seed cake, drank cups of
rosehip, cloves and orange peel tea and chatted a lot. Margit decided to start
making beany hats. She is so good, she can make one within 2 hours. I am not
sure which old projects of mine to carry on with next, but have two options at
least. I knitted a lot, when I was in love with baggy clothes so all my half-finished
jumpers and vests are just so huge I can fit in them twice or even three times.
I remember always being afraid of making them too small and ended up with
sacks. We call my finally finished vest: ‘Eperke’, when I put it on, I look
like a huge strawberry according to the Knitting Club girls
:-) All I need as they say
is a green hat. I remember knitting it when was reading Virginia Woolf’s Flush.
Being my favourite writer I was in love with all her works and even knitted the
name ‘Flush’ in the gilet with dark blue flowers, mushrooms, Christmas trees
and all sorts. Of course, I never wanted to put it apart, once I realised it
was too big. It took me ages to knit all the patterns. The funniest bit is,
when the Knitting Club girls asked me what Flush meant, I explained about the
book and added that in every day conversation we use it most often when we old-fashion-ly
‘powder our nose’ and flush the toilet
:-)
They burst into laugh and could not stop all evening pulling my leg about my ‘flush-y’
gilet design
