Fabulous day, lovely to meet some of you. I arrived a bit late (uni parking was closed!) and most people were sat down with yarn by that point. Next time I'll be more organised, and that will hopefully give me a chance to meet more people - or I'll just swop tables half way through like some weird woolly speed-date.

No idea what to create with my free yarn so if anyone wants an extra ball let me know and I'll post it on.

on with the square that didn't get finished That's exactly what I am doing Book. It was lovely to meet you and no the hovercraft still wasn't running so I walked to the hovercraft port and had to get a bus back to the FastCast.

Another traffic alert - if anyone is travelling home that way today the western side of the M25 is already gridlocked due to an accident Sad

I'm home at last - not a bad trip home apart from a 30 minute traffic jam around Oxford - some lorry had decided to shed its load/break down/ be annoying .
elephant - ah , at least I now know what drop and Iwant look like :) - at least you didn't have to get wet
I had a great time , and I won the raffle- no surprise a big bottle of gin ! Grin

I was just looking for a thread about this weekend and saw this one, I thought people might have added to the end of it.

After reading Leslie & TQ’s posts from last Year, I’m now sitting here in floods of tears. They were both so fabulous - life is bloody unfair 😢

I'm getting ready for Sunday - I'm bringing a constructed blanket and squares to save posting. Looking forward to it - I'll try to move round to talk to more this year (and eat cake, drink tea and spend money!)

Have fun today! Sorry I can't be there - the trains are having a very "Sunday" Sunday.
