Action 32 - Do something you think you can't do and Action 124 - Don't worry if you make a mistake!

We’ve been feeling all crafty at We Are What We Do the last few months and decided that this Christmas we would get creative with our gifts… why buy rubbish when you can make it?!

So, with only 7 months to perfect our presents and with needles in hand, we trooped off to Golders Green to join a group who meet every Wednesday night in Starbucks to compare patterns, projects and generally have a nice time.


After a confusing conflab about casting on techniques, a short discussion about whether needles are left-handed… and an even briefer one about leopard print wool, we were off!

[Note Katie's concentration and the utter disgust from Jyoti!]

A quick refresher course, and Nicole’s childhood lessons came flooding back. Before you could say knit one pearl one, Katie joined in and the competition was on, waving our knitting under any nose in a needles length.


As confidence gained, Nicole’s technique took a turn for the extreme as she moved into an upstanding position!

Meanwhile, Katie made friends with an obliging expert and quickly caught up… though we could see the cheating a mile off…

All in all a very productive and enjoyable evening… stay tuned to see our progress!
