WWKIP 2010

This year the Wicklow Knitters invite Fiber Fans of all kinds to join us for WWKIP 2010 in the courtyard of Mt Usher Gardens, Ashford, Co. Wicklow. There's outdoor seating in a lovely setting and great choices for coffee/tea/cake/buns or whatever you fancy.

Bring your yarnie stuff and come prepared for blazing sunshine or pelting rain...depending on the whim of the gods.

If you have any unwanted swatches or knitted squares or pompoms bring them along. There's a rumour that some flora things might get festooned with some yarn things.

Fun fun fun folks!

If you can't join us, I hope you have a good day somewhere.

Monsieur Poirot I presume?

Allow me to introduce you to someone.

This is Hercule.

How do you do? Pleased to meet you.

Hercule was designed and knitted* by the talented grandson of my friend S from the Wicklow Knitters. She is naturally very proud of Hercule (and of her grandson) so she brought Hercule to meet the Wicklow Knitters at our most recent meeting.

For a while we thought he (Hercule, not her grandson) had a Ronald Coleman moustache, but we quickly decided that it was Hercule Poirot himself who has been reincarnated...or should that be reincar-knitted?

Isn't he handsome? I especially like the ears in different colours. And the green shoes.

Note the jaunty scarf and the delightful tail.

Hat's off to ye me boy! There's a Wonder Knitter indeed.

* with some help of course, but mostly his own work.
