knitting and gin-ing

it was a lovely sunny day yesterday - perfect to celebrate World Wide Knit in Public Day by taking part in the London Knit Crawl organised by stitch london.  i cycled down to Kensington Gardens and caught up with the ladies (and some men!) sitting on the grass opposite the Royal Albert Hall/beside the Albert Memorial. 

after submitting to the knitting i cycled down to Portobello to submit to the gin...celebrating World Gin Day before cycling back home to avoid the World Cup mayhem with England's first match agains the USA...the streets were deserted as everyone's perched in front of the telly!
