Today's weather cooperated - or at least held off. I not only got to knit group but there were chocolates.
Nan, part time Meafordite, full time knitter has been up from Toronto for a couple of winter weeks and arrived at knit group today sporting a Koigu, I-Cord necklace.
Clever, fun, inexpensive and quick to knit. Thanks for showing us, Nan.
Jean was wearing a sweater, today, that is not only a work of art, but a lot of work.
Sharon asked if the yarn was her own hand-spun. Just like something Jean might do. Spin the yarn then knit a work of art. But not this time - commercial yarn, she said.
Little Ruth was back today.
Poor thing. Two months ago today, she slipped on a patch of sidewalk ice in front of her home, fell, broke her arm, smashed her face and broke her glasses. But it's hard to keep a good knitter away from her needles. One pair of grandson's socks are ready, the second pair are on the needles.
Wilma has finished a lovely cabled slouchy hat, knit with
Manos.
Looks great Wilma and pretty practical for the stormy winter weather we
are having.
Nicki has the sock-yarn, log-cabin blanket sewn together. She Kitchener stitched it. Should there not be an award for that? Gorgeous. But, she thinks, too heavy for a shawl as was her intention. Plan B is more squares to make it into a blanket. I should say, more socks, then more squares.
Knitters and knitting. Chocolates and yarn. Is there anything better?
