Annabel having stitched poorly but bitched brilliantly………

Well Ellie you made my Stitch ‘n Bitch knitting group positively sizzle with all your goings on this evening; we meet in a coffee shop called Hot Gossip and in the circumstances I think appropriately named. After the first phone call when you told us that your ‘paying guest’ (PG) was upstairs shagging the hussy everyone was hanging on for your next update. Half the group thought you should charge him double, the other half thought you should take the moral high ground and chuck him out and then one lady suggested you do both the above and then go to the News of the World!! That idea gets my vote…………………

However I think I may be expelled from the knitting group as the headmistress was not impressed with your phone call and combined with my distinct lack of knitting ability I think she noted me down as a disaster. So when she said we would be getting an email tomorrow I can just imagine the contents of mine.

The final nail in my coffin was when, having asked me how many rows I had knitted and I admitted to 2, possibly 3 (though the first 2 I knitted 3 times because I kept getting them wrong and my friend Carol had to keep unpicking them), then the chief honcho announced that the next meet up would be on 7th April and so I said I would be away and, whilst she looked visibly relieved, my fellow knitters were dismayed as they needed to be kept updated with your saga. They were hooked but she was not and I’m not sure these fingerless gloves are going to be ready by next winter for eldest daughter. Actually if I only knit one I could make it into a willy warmer and send it to your PG ‘cos if he keeps getting it out in this cold weather he might be very appreciative of it.
