Jim & Christine came through to see our new mews today.

We went for lunch at Piece Box, where we're starting to become regulars.

I resisted the amazing looking cupcakes and ordered a Mexican tuna sandwich (or should I say piece?) and a mocha chai instead. I love the gold plates.

There's a great little craft shop along the street from us called Pins & Needles which sells cheap supplies and has very helpful staff. I picked up a crochet needle.

I'd been meaning to join a Stitch 'N Bitch down south for years but never got around to it, so when Nicole (a friend I'd made at a Facebook party back in London, who has recently moved to Edinburgh) tweeted me about Granny Green's Big Night Out, we rushed along.

I took my Cath Kidston cushion, which I've restarted using a smaller needle to compensate for my beginners loose tension. It's amazing what a size difference the needle makes.

The meet-up was at the Red Squirrel where I had a vegetarian haggis bugger. Everyone was so friendly and even helped me get knots out of my spaghetti-like yarn.

Nicole made a flock of adorable sock bunnies. I'm looking forward to going again next week!
