had a great time in London this weekend with members of the craft group (t insists we should be called denim and venom and now it has stuck). never thought i would be having a good time in london! however it was fab. a girl in winter has written a fab description of our adventures in yarn: http://knittingkeepsmesane.blogspot.com/2008/06/knitters-on-tour.html
it didnt start well when a grumpy coach driver refused to let us on the coach p was going to pick up later, then p's mobile died so we werent sure if she had got the coach at all and was wondering where we were! luckily we all were reunited at victoria and the chaos began...
it was lovely to spend time with such great people! the shops we went to were amazing including those a girl in winter has mentioned, but also fur coat no knickers http://www.furcoatnoknickers.co.uk/ourshop.php we loved this name! then spent some time thinking who at work we can apply this to! we WANT denim and venom tshirts now, and to have nicknames on the back, girl in winter has bagsied fur coat no knickers already, i'm going for the name "gryphon perkins" which we read in a knitting magazine on the coach to london, a and p have to pick some now. you can tell we are not ordinary knitters!!
me and p also enjoyed Black Pearl http://www.blackpearlboutique.co.uk/ i nearly bought some stunning earring with eiffel towers on...looks like i can get online for this too so may yet be tempted!!
when we finally got back p's lovely husband completed an ace day by bringing the namaste bags a and p and i all bought after being tempted by the evil temptress that is girl in winter!!!! theimage of him sprinting across the car park to get these to us before the coach left will always be with me - thanks p's lovely husband!!! and thanks again to the 3 other denim and venom tour participants - you are amazing funny clever and inspirig people and i am so glad i know you, thanks for a beautiful day!!

your trip sounds ace and i am most jealous that i am not a part of the denim and venom group! can i be a honorary long distance member?! i think that t. should be made the group mascot if he actually thought up the name, and hence given a daft mascot name too!
as for your alter-ego name, i still think you should go with the one i suggested to you on the phone over the weekend! hehehe!!!
I remember seeing a woman on TV doing origami and her name was Megumi Biddle. Isn't that the best name ever?
you can definitely be an honoray member na', your name on your t-shirt can be witch from hell's fire!!
girl in winter if you want to be Megumi Biddle then you should be!! it is the best name since Gryphon Perkins!!
