Panic and Plinth Musings

So it's quite late now, the night before - and I haven't packed yet - so it's the usual chaos here.

Thanks to After Adoption for their supportive message :) and to friends for theirs :)

I can't knit naked on the plinth - it's too chilly for a start off - and the kiddos have literally begged me not to - they are so supportive of all the daft things I/we do - so I'm going to respect their wishes. Also - it's been done lots, the naked thing - so there's really no need. If I ever get round to packing though - I'll take a Naked Knitting Calendar up there with me - so can promise pictures of naked people covered in wool instead, a much more pleasant option - I can assure you.

I plan to take some pretty pics up there with me to show off, I will knit - even if it rains - and I've got some woolly goodies to shower any spectators with - knitters get priority here!

I'm also planning to do some poi spinning - but I warn you - I'm not very good at it - so am more likely to knock myself out with them than actually look cool.

Some Bolton Knitting Noras are having a plinth knit in at Bev's - so I'll definately be sending them a wave, along with a few other people.

If I have a quiet looking serene moment - that'll be me remembering to send some sparkly reiki energy out from the plinth.

I'll be wearing a badge given to me by the lovely Herdy people that I met at I Knit - check out their website for some super ethical and rather stylish products - looks to me like these guys know how to do business ;)

I shall consider it an achievement if I spy a couple of knitters in Trafalgar Square tomorrow night - and manage to raise a few quid for After Adoption, and raise awareness of their work.

So that's all folks - I'll do a blog on my return, just for the record, then it'll all be over.

Thank you and goodnight!

Eeeep and double eeeeep!!! It's been a bit hectic this week - my lovely friend Sam had some problems with work, and it turns out she can't take me down to London - soooooooo it was all systems go sorting out alternative travel and accommodation. Luckily it was back to plan A and I'll be staying with the lovely Joanna & Douglas in Clapham - thanks guys! I was very lucky to get reasonably priced train tickets also - so Storm & Beck, (the rugrats) still get to come with me. It's their first visit to London!

I'm knitting daisies like crazy, I've made some 'props' and assembled some more, I'm washing my frock - and generally running round like a headless chicken. Rumour has it there may be a few knitters in Trafalgar Square on Tuesday evening - hoorah!

My musical friends the fabulous SR Gents very kindly sent me a CD with all their tracks on - so I'm planning to have that as my musical backdrop on the plinth - you can find out more about them at www.myspace.com/srgents. I'm just praying for dry weather so I can take Beck's cd player up there with me.

Tomorrow I shall reveal more of what I MAY do on the plinth - and possibly an answer to the question I keep being asked 'will you knit naked?'

That's all for now folks! Thanks for reading :) Lx
