No knitting today, but lots of dressing up!!The school organised an evacuee day at a local Manor House, Holdenby Hose to be presise. It was a really great day, they went down in a air raid shelter with a 'Major', cooked vegetable pie with a 'house wife' and were taught to make do and mend cloths with a snooty 'school teacher'. All the teachers and teaching assistants dressed up as Land Army Girls, but not me ... i went as a mechanic from the WAAF. I think the other women were annoyed that i didn't join in there land Army game, but nevermind. I enjoyed it :)
The first picuture is of me in the morning. I curled my hair and pined it, but my hairs soo long that it was difficult to do much!
Second pic is of me, Lilly and another TA, Mrs Beaven.
And lastly is a pic of Jason and his paper gas mask! :)
All the kids seem to enjoy themselves and even sang some old songs on the coach back to school (believe me when i say, thats THE most interested i've seen them be all year!)Happy weekend knitting to everyone!

That day looked like a lot of fun! I liked your outfit. :)
I like bamboo needles, yeah, just not the circulars, and only because of the join. But, if you can get some, try some rosewood or something like that. The Lantern Moon needles are really nice, but they're really expensive. It all depends on what yarn you're using, the wood grabs onto the yarn more than metal does, so for lace that's better. I like making socks on wood needles, there's less chance of the stitches slipping off.
Have a nice weekend!
