We all gathered at Joan’s house (aka her other house) where Joan met us with margaritas – oh, yeah…later she forced us to eat brownies and bunny-chunky ice cream. That Joan, she’s a torturer. But we like it. Speaking of Joan the torturer, no, that’s not a wild animal in her lap. It’s her “pillow” or so she says…
Down, Rover!
I was so fascinated that I had to take a closeup. Yup, still looked like a feral animal.
Hey, what are you doing to that pooch? Torturing it with sticks?
I for one can’t wait to see how Rover grows in the next few weeks. I might have to bring Joan a leash.
Well, perhaps too many margaritas in the afternoon isn’t a good idea, Deb. Uh, Deb? Are you with us? This is the blogger’s fault – operator error with the camera.
Somebody wake Deb up...or take those needles out of her hands.
Hmm, maybe it was the intrepid blogger who should have laid off the margaritas. My timing was off. I caught everyone today looking either asleep, bored or angry. Or else they were all hurrying through their knitting to make time for ice cream and brownies. I liked it. I threw my afghan in a heap to run for the sweet stuff.
Goodbye afghan, hello chunky-monkey-bunny!
Carol was embroidering her initials on the baby blanket – GMAB- for Grandma B. I can just see that sweet little baby wrapped in this pretty blanket.
One blankie down...
She was already into the next blanket, for the next grandbaby…
And one to go!
I think Carol gets the diligence prize. Good job, Grandma Carol.
Francy was knitting a purse in two colors. Ya know, so many Castoffs have knitted purses or totes, but I never have. I’ll have to consider that just to keep up with the other gals…maybe.
Wow! Mama's got a brand new bag.
Marylane was still working on her needlepoint. We went on a hike and were discussing how much we liked knitting or needlepointing while we watch movies. Unless they are foreign films. It’s hard to read the subtitles and knit at the same time, right Marylane?
No subtitles or closed captions, please
Mary was busy trying to remember how to knit cables. She worked on it last week, but was not so sure this week. So, she decided to try two colors at the same time. Naw, just practicing with what she had at hand. It’ll come back to you, Mary.
Such concentration, Mary!
After almost everybody left, Linda remembered that she needed help unraveling a tote that she had started in Denver. She used a double strand, then decided that the gauge was wrong. Well…she had a big tangled mess that Joan, Marylane and I were happy to help her untangle. It took all of us, pulling, winding, yanking, cursing. Uh, we eventually got most of it done, and in record time, too! Now Linda can redo the tote in a single strand.
We looked remarkably happy. Or maybe just relieved that it was unwound.
That was fun. We always have fun whether we’re knitting or unknitting. Is unknitting a word? It is now. Next week we’ll meet at Marylane’s house. Can’t wait to see Leslie’s purse. She dropped by my house last weekend with a knitting emergency, but I think it was finally averted. We also missed Michele and Julie at our meeting this week. It’ll be fun to catch up at Marylane’s house. So until then, keep your needles clicking!
