Stitching Secret Santa the Second
Posted by Deadly Knitshade on December 17, 2009
Twas the very last Stitch and Bitch London meeting before Christmas and all through the National Theatre not a creature was knitting…except for 30 people on the first floor.
Since some of you lovely S&B Londoners missed out on Stitching Secret Santa (and one poor soul ended up with the unhandmade prize of pantsness) we decided to give Stitching Secret Santa another jingling whirl in what has come to be known, imaginatively, as Stitching Secret Santa the Second.
Witness the loveliness of what our handcrafting heroes contributed to Round Two here:
Cuuuuuute bag and row counter
A fine woolly pair
The proof was in the (tea cosy) pudding. Marion gets a fabulous present at last.
A very sweet stitched stocking
A snuggly snood
Perfect pink armwarmers (to be passed on to a friend by their slightly allergic recipient)
Charming handmade buttons and charm
Dangling decorations
Christmas tree peoples
Stitched soldiers
A selection of stockings
The ink-slinging Gary ‘Sheep Stitcher’ Northfield also wandered along to admire the woolly wonders and sign some copies of his Derek the Sheep book for our competition winners:
Derek runs from an angry bee
Derek in Wonderland
Derek joins Knit the City for a yarnstorm on the farm
All in all it was a marvellous Stitchmas way to end one of S&B London’s busiest, moustachiest, maddest years.
Thanks to everyone who stitched their second Secret Santa and everyone who ooohed and ahhed in the right places as they were opened.
