Keith Prowse notes Wimbledon booking shift
The Gatsby Club, which was redesigned for this year’s Wimbledon, is a favourite with smaller groups, offering a menu crafted by Michelin starred chef Albert Roux. The award-winning venue has become a destination dining experience at the All England Lawn Tennis Club, showcasing the best in summer cuisine drawing on local provenance. The Gatsby Club’s impeccable service standards and skilled kitchen team, overseen by Albert Roux, were recently championed on the hit BBC2 series, Service. Ted Walker, head of marketing at Keith Prowse said: “As Wimbledon can be considered a litmus test for the corporate hospitality market, we are always eager to review data and trace booking patterns. While our 2011 hospitality range has seen strong corporate demand as expected, our figures clearly show an increase in the number of smaller groups entertaining at The Championships.Gatsby Dress Pattern - News

FO: Great Gatsby Dress « Stitch, Brinn, Stitch!
Mods: Um, a lot. My gauge was like, waaay off (cause you know I don’t swatch), so I did as many repeats of the Fern Lace pattern to get the right width and then modified from there. Also, I left off the picot bind off and just did garter edges.
Like I said, I am so utterly delighted with this dress. I’d been searching for the right yarn in thrift shops for a while, knowing I’d have to recycle a large sweater to make the project affordable. It took some doing, but I finally found a lace-weight linen/cotton blend that was large enough. I frogged it, tripling the yarn as I wound it, and dyed it with about 3/4 a packet of Dylan dye. The dye job came out to the color wanted (dark grey) with some variation (but not enough to be obnoxious).
The pattern itself was pretty easy to follow for the most part, and I really like the effect picking up the skirt stitches on the wrong side has. The bodice was a little confusing, but that’s mostly because my stitch counts were way off. I just mirrored the armholes like the back, which I followed more closely to the pattern, and worked the neckline the way I’d make any scoop necked sweater. The effect: SUPER CUTE.
The only issue I have with the dress is that it’s a wee bit short, which means I have to wear something underneath it (I quite like it over this white dress, which is how I had planned to wear it). I could probably get away with just an underskirt as the top part is pretty opaque (though the stitching is pretty loose, so who knows). I was worried the bodice was going to be do tight, but I did some extra bust inscreases on the side, and it fits quite well.
Next on the knitting agenda is a reknit of my Leah vest. I frogged the longer version cause the shaping didn’t sit right and I plan to remake the shorter version so I can finish drafting the pattern and hopefully get it into testing this week. Cheers!
