The Birthday BBQ
In a few days I will turn 30. But since weekdays are rubbish for parties and I’m tied up next weekend with secret adventures, my family gathered in Croydon in my old ‘hood to have the party of all parties yesterday. For some people 30 doesn’t seem to be such a big deal, but for […]
WWKIPD
In the same weekend that involved the fishing trip, I also met with knitters at the First and Last Pub in Pembroke Dock, where I knew – courtesy of Brenda Dayne’s magnificent podcast – that people were gathering for some WWKIPD action*. It was great to meet Angie, Elizabeth, Angela and Andrew and to enjoy […]
Give a girl a fish…
…she’ll eat for a day. Teach her how to fish and she’ll live forever. Barnacles and mussels: an amazing sound, a tiny fizzing, popping noise as all the miniscule creatures breathe and open.

Rachael made me take a photo of the rough bit on my finger […]
Post of today #2: UFO
Does anyone remember this? It’s a massive Gansey/Guernsey (could someone more knowledgeable than I please advise re: the correct garment terminology?) that I gained via the marvellous UFO Project Administration Service, set up by Rachael Matthews and due to exhibit from 10th June to 19th July in The Jerwood Space as part of The Contemporary […]
Post of today #1: FO
I present, first of all, one FO. It is knit from sounds and interviews and recordings and old tapes and meetings with artists and other such things of joy and you can hear it here, or here. I am very pleased with this, the first in a series of four podcasts, commissioned by Sound and […]
