Gig one, knit two
We are super busy this week in the run up to Girl and Dean's Tearoom at the Hen and Chickens for the next two Fridays (July 3rd & 10th) at 7.30pm. Tickets can be found on the H&C website here. Do come - it will be a celebration of baked goods based silliness, with musical input from Tom Wateracre and alpha male opinion from Adam Riches. (And yes there will be biscuit bingo!)
Below are two very short films Sarah made about delightful knitting idiocy,with the help of knitters at the UK Ravelry Day* Thanks to everyone who helped out. Enjoy!
Oh and the rather cheeky pattern can be found here

Public service announcement to the people of Coventry
Today is the first ever UK Ravelry Day in Coventry. Ravelry is, well it's sort of like facebook only with wool, which sounds a bit niche, doesn't it? Except this niche has 3 million members worldwide. Today it's just some of the British ones meeting up.
So Middle Englanders, please be aware that the risk of having you eye poked out in Coventry City Centre by a knitting needle is higher than usual. Thank you
Sarah (Dean; 4-eyes) will be wandering around recording interviews with knitters for a podcast project. More news of that soon (as soon as she has learnt how to edit audio to be honest...)
In other news we are doing a short set at Falling Down with Laughter at Belushi's bar on Borough High Street on Tuesday night, hosted by the delightful Alexis Dubus and remember Girl and Dean's Tearoom at the Hen and Chickens on Fridays 3rd and 10th July, book now for baked goods based comedy.

Oh yes, we make all our own clothes...
We were interviewed by the Independent about knitting and crafting and the recession for their Money section. We had our picture taken knitting by a nice photographer lady called Terri surrounded by lots of knitting needles and woolly things. It was all very Cath Kidston.
You can find our lies, exaggerations and the strange pretense they enforced upon us to suggest we don't know each other here.
In the end the article only went online without a picture, which is a shame as Sarah was knitting a pink and red striped mitten, which had so made ends hanging down (from changing wool for the stripes) that it looked like bloody entrails. (Slightly less Cath, bit more Carrie.)

Make your own Girl and Dean!
Wonderful illustrator Si Smith has made cardboard cut-out versions of Girl and Dean. Here's what the final cut-outs look like:
Cute, hey? You get one body and 2 interchangeable heads. (Girl has 20:20 vision and Dean is a speccy four-eyes in case you don't know.)
Download the file and make your own! Do send in photos of your cut outs out and about. A Prize for the most exotic location.
