			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I would like to welcome any new readers, and thank old ones for visiting, we’re not that old and we hope to continue to do this as time allows. If you know of any blogs that should be included please contact us by email or a post on this or the Irish Knitting, Crochet and crafty blogging post. The same goes if you want to be removed. If you are included in our updates please mention if you want to be removed from there too. Please note that neither I or SineadR do this as a full-time job, and allied to that our jobs actually restrict our webtime. We will do our best to get stuff done as soon as possible but that may take a few days or hours. In order to optimise my trawling I have set up <a href="http://www.netvibes.com/subscribe.php?preconfig=615e7989a2f6cb17dcfc31e4d14f82f2">a Netvibes Page for the blogs</a> this is not foolproof and I may miss updates but it’s been better than some of the other options.  I have also decided that if a blog posts more than about 10 or so posts in a week I’m just going to link to the site, unless something in particular catches my eye that’s very craft related. You may notice that some posts from Sundays have been repeated, this is if there is time-sensitive information included in them, this does sometimes lead to repeated links from the previous week. From this week for the foreseeable future I&#8217;m going to do this fortnightly.  It&#8217;s consuming too much time that Summer is suggesting I should spend outdoors in our garden!</p>
<p>This is delayed a week because sadly Brendan Kehoe of Zen.org <a href="http://www.zen.org/2011/07/20/bigger-than-his-body/">lost his fight with cancer</a>.  His funeral was Saturday 23rd July and I seriously couldn&#8217;t face doing the update; over the last few weeks there were a number of tributes to him.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I would like to welcome any new readers, and thank old ones for visiting, we’re not that old and we hope to continue to do this as time allows. If you know of any blogs that should be included please contact us by email or a post on this or the Irish Knitting, Crochet and crafty blogging post. The same goes if you want to be removed. If you are included in our updates please mention if you want to be removed from there too. Please note that neither I or SineadR do this as a full-time job, and allied to that our jobs actually restrict our webtime. We will do our best to get stuff done as soon as possible but that may take a few days or hours. In order to optimise my trawling I have set up <a href="http://www.netvibes.com/subscribe.php?preconfig=615e7989a2f6cb17dcfc31e4d14f82f2">a Netvibes Page for the blogs</a> this is not foolproof and I may miss updates but it’s been better than some of the other options.  I have also decided that if a blog posts more than about 10 or so posts in a week I’m just going to link to the site, unless something in particular catches my eye that’s very craft related. You may notice that some posts from Sundays have been repeated, this is if there is time-sensitive information included in them, this does sometimes lead to repeated links from the previous week. From this week for the foreseeable future I&#8217;m going to do this fortnightly.  It&#8217;s consuming too much time that Summer is suggesting I should spend outdoors in our garden!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I would like to welcome any new readers, and thank old ones for visiting, we’re not that old and we hope to continue to do this as time allows. If you know of any blogs that should be included please contact us by email or a post on this or the Irish Knitting, Crochet and crafty blogging post. The same goes if you want to be removed. If you are included in our updates please mention if you want to be removed from there too. Please note that neither I or SineadR do this as a full-time job, and allied to that our jobs actually restrict our webtime. We will do our best to get stuff done as soon as possible but that may take a few days or hours. In order to optimise my trawling I have set up <a href="http://www.netvibes.com/subscribe.php?preconfig=615e7989a2f6cb17dcfc31e4d14f82f2">a Netvibes Page for the blogs</a> this is not foolproof and I may miss updates but it’s been better than some of the other options.  I have also decided that if a blog posts more than about 10 or so posts in a week I’m just going to link to the site, unless something in particular catches my eye that’s very craft related. You may notice that some posts from Sundays have been repeated, this is if there is time-sensitive information included in them, this does sometimes lead to repeated links from the previous week. From this week for the foreseeable future I&#8217;m going to do this fortnightly.  It&#8217;s consuming too much time that Summer is suggesting I should spend outdoors in our garden!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I would like to welcome any new readers, and thank old ones for visiting, we’re not that old and we hope to continue to do this as time allows. If you know of any blogs that should be included please contact us by email or a post on this or the Irish Knitting, Crochet and crafty blogging post. The same goes if you want to be removed. If you are included in our updates please mention if you want to be removed from there too. Please note that neither I or SineadR do this as a full-time job, and allied to that our jobs actually restrict our webtime. We will do our best to get stuff done as soon as possible but that may take a few days or hours. In order to optimise my trawling I have set up <a href="http://www.netvibes.com/subscribe.php?preconfig=615e7989a2f6cb17dcfc31e4d14f82f2">a Netvibes Page for the blogs</a> this is not foolproof and I may miss updates but it’s been better than some of the other options.  I have also decided that if a blog posts more than about 10 or so posts in a week I’m just going to link to the site, unless something in particular catches my eye that’s very craft related. You may notice that some posts from Sundays have been repeated, this is if there is time-sensitive information included in them, this does sometimes lead to repeated links from the previous week. From this week for the foreseeable future I&#8217;m going to do this fortnightly.  It&#8217;s consuming too much time that Summer is suggesting I should spend outdoors in our garden!</p>

<p>World Wide Knit in Public Day<br />
11 June 2011</p>
<p>This Saturday is World Wide Knit in public day, and there are events taking place in several locations.</p>
<p><strong>Dublin:</strong></p>
<p>Powerscourt Centre Balcony from 12pm and then on to St Stephens Green South Bandstand from 2pm, weather depending. <a href="http://thisisknit.ie">This is Knit</a> will be having special offers on some yarns, and raffle prizes!</p>
<p><a href="http://winniethewoolwagon.com/">Winnie’s Craft Cafe</a> will be getting in on the fun of world wide knit in public on Saturday June 11th from 1.30 &#8211; 3.30pm. Come along and knit or crochet with other knitters. Hopefully the weather will be nice so people can sit at the tables outside the shop. There will be some special surprises on the day!</p>
<p>Clondalkin knitters are meeting on the green area at Floraville, opposite Clondalkin library at 10am. If it&#8217;s raining then they will meet in the library itself.</p>
<p><strong>Roscommon:</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.loughkey.ie/fileadmin/templates/template01/documents/loughkey.pdf">Lough Key Forest Park</a>  The meet up point is very close to the car park to make it easy to set up.  Meet on the grass around the ruined church. On the map this is the little black box with a cross symbol, to the right of the word “centre”. You can park in the car park, it costs about 3 or 4 euro.</p>
<p>Another meet-up is taking place in the grounds of Roscommon Castle at 12.30pm.</p>
<p><strong>Cork:</strong></p>
<p>From 1:00 to 4:00 p.m., local knitters and crocheters will gather at Bishop Lucey Park for some public displays of craftiness. This event is open to all, especially knit, crochet, and fiber craft enthusiasts.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Belfast:</strong></p>
<p>Meet at 2pm in the Botanical Gardens,  outside the palm house if dry, inside at the museum cafe if raining for some knitty fun!<strong></strong></p>
<div>
<p>So there&#8217;s no excuse not to get out and about with your latest project! Make sure to bring something to sit on!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I would like to welcome any new readers, and thank old ones for visiting, we’re not that old and we hope to continue to do this as time allows. If you know of any blogs that should be included please contact us by email or a post on this or the Irish Knitting, Crochet and crafty blogging post. The same goes if you want to be removed. If you are included in our updates please mention if you want to be removed from there too. Please note that neither I or SineadR do this as a full-time job, and allied to that our jobs actually restrict our webtime. We will do our best to get stuff done as soon as possible but that may take a few days or hours. In order to optimise my trawling I have set up <a href="http://www.netvibes.com/subscribe.php?preconfig=615e7989a2f6cb17dcfc31e4d14f82f2">a Netvibes Page for the blogs</a> this is not foolproof and I may miss updates but it’s been better than some of the other options.  I have also decided that if a blog posts more than about 10 or so posts in a week I’m just going to link to the site, unless something in particular catches my eye that’s very craft related. You may notice that some posts from Sundays have been repeated, this is if there is time-sensitive information included in them, this does sometimes lead to repeated links from the previous week. From this week for the foreseeable future I&#8217;m going to do this fortnightly.  It&#8217;s consuming too much time that Summer is suggesting I should spend outdoors in our garden!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I would like to welcome any new readers, and thank old ones for visiting, we’re not that old and we hope to continue to do this as time allows. If you know of any blogs that should be included please contact us by email or a post on this or the Irish Knitting, Crochet and crafty blogging post. The same goes if you want to be removed. If you are included in our updates please mention if you want to be removed from there too. Please note that neither I or SineadR do this as a full-time job, and allied to that our jobs actually restrict our webtime. We will do our best to get stuff done as soon as possible but that may take a few days or hours. In order to optimise my trawling I have set up <a href="http://www.netvibes.com/subscribe.php?preconfig=615e7989a2f6cb17dcfc31e4d14f82f2">a Netvibes Page for the blogs</a> this is not foolproof and I may miss updates but it’s been better than some of the other options.  I have also decided that if a blog posts more than about 10 or so posts in a week I’m just going to link to the site, unless something in particular catches my eye that’s very craft related. You may notice that some posts from Sundays have been repeated, this is if there is time-sensitive information included in them, this does sometimes lead to repeated links from the previous week.</p>
<p>Apologies for the delay, Sunday was spent in my garden and Monday I had a chronic Sinus attack. All better now but it wasn&#8217;t a good day and staring at web sites wouldn&#8217;t be a good plan, thankfully I have today off so recovery and blog updates coming.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I would like to welcome any new readers, and thank old ones for visiting, we’re not that old and we hope to continue to do this as time allows. If you know of any blogs that should be included please contact us by email or a post on this or the Irish Knitting, Crochet and crafty blogging post. The same goes if you want to be removed. If you are included in our updates please mention if you want to be removed from there too. Please note that neither I or SineadR do this as a full-time job, and allied to that our jobs actually restrict our webtime. We will do our best to get stuff done as soon as possible but that may take a few days or hours. In order to optimise my trawling I have set up <a href="http://www.netvibes.com/subscribe.php?preconfig=615e7989a2f6cb17dcfc31e4d14f82f2">a Netvibes Page for the blogs</a> this is not foolproof and I may miss updates but it’s been better than some of the other options.  I have also decided that if a blog posts more than about 10 or so posts in a week I’m just going to link to the site, unless something in particular catches my eye that’s very craft related. You may notice that some posts from Sundays have been repeated, this is if there is time-sensitive information included in them, this does sometimes lead to repeated links from the previous week.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I would like to welcome any new readers, and thank old ones for visiting, we’re not that old and we hope to continue to do this as time allows. If you know of any blogs that should be included please contact us by email or a post on this or the Irish Knitting, Crochet and crafty blogging post. The same goes if you want to be removed. If you are included in our updates please mention if you want to be removed from there too. Please note that neither I or SineadR do this as a full-time job, and allied to that our jobs actually restrict our webtime. We will do our best to get stuff done as soon as possible but that may take a few days or hours. In order to optimise my trawling I have set up <a href="http://www.netvibes.com/subscribe.php?preconfig=615e7989a2f6cb17dcfc31e4d14f82f2">a Netvibes Page for the blogs</a> this is not foolproof and I may miss updates but it’s been better than some of the other options.  I have also decided that if a blog posts more than about 10 or so posts in a week I’m just going to link to the site, unless something in particular catches my eye that’s very craft related. You may notice that some posts from Sundays have been repeated, this is if there is time-sensitive information included in them, this does sometimes lead to repeated links from the previous week.</p>
