Knittting in London - Tricotter a Londres

Another thing you learn coming to the UK as a frog is the real importance, and may I say, business of charity.
Whilst French consider donating as a private and personal action, here people get you to sponsor them to run, climb, dive...and give out the money to a charity of their choice.

At work, we have decided to knit hats for Innocent Smoothies (another thing you discover : wonderful fruit puree, shame M and S is now off France....).

and so, after 20 years of promising myself to never reiterate the dreadful and painful experience of producing a cat made or knitted blue wool, using the famous French "tricotin", here I am, discussing briefs and client products to launch in 2006, fighting whith that damn god brown wool.
By 4 pm half of the female and gay community of the office was full on, armed with needles and colored wool, wondering why the hell e-mails did not get answered.

But hey who cares about productivity, we're knitting little woolen hats for those yummy drinks.
The Charity ?
Well, there is a link with knitting here....
Help the aged.

Needless to say I am so bad, I have been given the task to try and complete a scarf for my teddy bear first. If there aren't too many holes (two already) I'll be allowed to knit the hat.
I feel my life has reached such a sense of accomplishement right now.

Si vous êtes sages, as we say in France, pictures soon !!!

Enjoy the evening and God save the knitting (and the aged)

Goodnight folks
