Wasn't the Olympic opening ceremony fantastic? It even tops my previous favourite-ever Olympic ceremony (Sydney closing - prawns on bikes & every classic Aussie cliche you can imagine). As a knitter it was obviously good to see great British sheep involved.
I've recently joined Pinterest and have set up a Pattern Inspiration board for anything that my brain thinks might one day make a knitting pattern - lots of Olympic related ideas sloshing around. Feeling rather ahead of the new British cycling-obsessed curve after having started my pattern designing career with Pendleton and Cavendish. But what to do with Bradley Wiggins? Surely the man deserves celebrating with a knitting pattern.
Have sold a few patterns for Bartolome, earning the Galapagos Conservation Trust a grand total of £2.50 so far. I'll keep this blog updated with any more money I manage to raise. The second Queen of Cups pattern is advancing quite well & I think I will also put that up for sale rather than free download, and am considering appropriate charities to get a proportion of Queen of Cups proceeds.
