Coventry Knit-Wits

It was great to meet everyone on Wednesday. I have been promoting the community on some of the Coventry_UK forums on LiveJournal, which has been successful with a couple of people saying they might try and come along.

So to introduce myself:

I am Dominique, I am 25... I am actually a bit of an all-round crafter but have recently (3 weeks ago) taken up knitting after learning the very basics (knit and purl, no casting on or off) when I was a child off my speed knitting grandmother. I think I might have inherited her knitting passion because I absolutely love knitting now. I am already addicted to sexy yarn (anything chunky, spray dyed, bulky weight mainly), I like metal needles and I have got may hands on some very nice Addi turbo circulars to knit on. I learnt to knit from the Stich N Bitch handbook and a nice old lady at Coventry station.

Anyway, a picture.... I finished the hat I was knitting on wednesday and have added a detatchable red bow shaped broach so it can be either very Hello Kitty or just vaguely kitty-ish:
