Stitch By Stitch – Knitting Night at the KRAKEN WAKES

I think its fair to say summer is far behind us all now. So knitting needles at the ready, for some winter wear. This is a free knitting night is for everyone, from those who have never picked up a needle before to those that know the difference between a garter stitch and a stockinette.

As well as the opportunity to wield a set of needles, come just to eat cake, drink tea, have a natter in cosy surroundings & watch a bit of murder she wrote. If there is a better way to spend a lazy Sunday’s eve, we haven’t found it. Some equipment is provided but it is recommended to bring needles and a ball of wool just in case. The group now have a large collection of patterns so feel free to bring and swap patterns & wool. We have also be kindly donated a knitting machine, which is great fun for all kinds of projects. One of which is it to make alot of sections to cover a few sad trees. They may need their own jumpers to get them through the few cold months. So fill your boots and do a few lines on the machine.

The next meeting of Stitch by Stitch is this Sunday (13th) in The One Eyed Dog in Southsea. The last event went really well with a good turn out and on Sunday the evening is dedicated to knitting winter garments like scarfs, etc. All you will need is some big-ish needles (size 8 and over), most importantly wool and yourselves.

This time they’ve got an old fashioned projector screen showing Murder She Wrote from the very beginning (pilot, oh yes), tutorials for all that need them & guided instruction at hand, homemade yummies, teapots and needles if needbe. Please try & bring your own wool (let them know if you can’t).

For full details check the Facebook event.

PRIMARY – Extended & Improved

We have some great news about our PRIMARY phonography exhibition (find out all the details here) that we can now announce:

- The deadline for submissions has now been extended to Sunday 4th March. We have had some incredible submissions but want to set aside more time to make the exhibition something really special.

- The competition is now open to up to 10 submissions from each individual. With the ability to capture many photos on your phone over the next two months we we want you to not feel restricted to just three. The same rules apply about the photos conforming to compositions using the primary colours though. If you have already submitted feel free to send more photos over as and when you please.

- The exhibition will be hosted by Albert Road’s own Bonzo Studio who are also partnering up with us in the creation of the exhibition space. More news on this soon!

- Finally, we will be running a competition as part of the exhibition where the best three photos submitted will win some incredible prizes. We will be announcing the prizes available very soon but got to say, these will be the best prize haul we have ever offered.

- We will be putting together a poster for the exhibition that will be on sale on the opening night. The poster will feature some of the best submissions and all profits from the sales will go to a local charity (details to follow soon). Due to this we need to say that any photos submitted to PRIMARY will involve you giving us permission to use them for commercial purposes, if you do not want your photo used in this way simply let us know via email.

Well, that is it for now! We really hope to drum up as much coverage locally for PRIMARY in the next couple of months so if you could Facebook/Tweet/+1 about the exhibition we would really appreciate it. We would love this exhibition to be a real reflection of the whole population of Portsmouth with everyone taking part and feeling involved.

It’s going to be a Strong Movember – Closed at £725

Righto chaps, it’s time to clean shave your boat race and get that mighty moustache on the grow in support of Movember for The Prostate Cancer Charity and the Institute of Cancer Research. For 30 days of November you can help support and raise awareness through selflessly parading your top lip for charity.

The funds raised in the UK support the number one and two male specific cancers – prostate and testicular cancer.

Together, these channels work together to ensure that Movember funds are supporting a broad range of innovative, world-class programmes in line with our strategic goals in the areas of awareness and education, survivorship and research.
