Sunday I spent in the company of friends at the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich. Whilst Gerard had hat designing to do at home for Innocent, I had the job of representing IKL at this knitting session in conjunction with the museum's Sailor Chic exhibition. We caught the great film featuring the incomparable Gene Kelly before heading upstairs to knit...there was lots to do, and a good turn out, and we saw some familiar faces. Our sea themed knits for the day included this fabulous seagull, which adorned my cap for the rest of the afternoon, by Sue, a mini sailor's cap and a ship's bell and ship's cat too. We also did some teaching had some gorgeous cakes and homemade biscuits 
courtesy of Melissa.Before and after were fun to - I got myself a gorgeous pink duffel coat in the market, a fair isle tank-top (which I might pass as my own handiwork!), and a new perspex pink and brown ring that matches both. Fate.

Was a good afternoon.
I am miffed that I don't carry off the sailors hat with nearly so much aplomb as you do the "seagull on a cap look".
Oh to look while adorned with knitted birds!
