April showers

Here's another hat for Medical Teams International.  This one's handspun wool and a few ounces of silk from an estate sale.  I have such an addiction for estate sale yarn. I love working with other people's precious leftovers.  And it does make for a warm and pretty hat.

Four days till knitting. It looks like there'll be 15 or 16 of us.  So here's your warning, folks - First nine to arrive get to sit at the table.  Latecomers get the living room.  We are having pear and nutmeg upside down cake, Earl Grey tea biscuits, scones with a variety of jams, chicken/apple sausage pasties, and some sort of fruit. Grapes?  Fruit salad? I haven't seen any decent melons in the market, and I hate to buy imported berries, so it might be apples, oranges and coconut, peeled, sliced and mixed.  And chocolate, of course.
