The Castoffs met at Joan’s house for the last time this year! Boo-hoo! Joan and Jeff will be leaving next week to return to Arizona for the winter. Well… the weather dips down into the high 30’s and she’s out of here! Imagine that.
Joan made us some yummy brownies and served crackers with cream cheese covered in some kind of yummy jelly sauce – forgive me, Joan for forgetting the name but I will never forget the delicious taste. She topped it off with margaritas and/or wine and we had a wonderful feast. Thanks, Joan! We’ll miss you.
Yummy…and pretty, too.
Very much like the rest of the summer, we were all lazy knitters – Slackoffs! Some of us more than others…you know who you are!
I wonder if they called ahead to find out what everyone was wearing?
Linda was busily knitting her prayer shawl – good girl. It’s a pretty mixed yarn – from Lion Brand, I think. Guess who has a birthday coming up???
Linda’s knitting and Mary’s dreaming of her granddaughter who arrives later today.
Marylane and I are at least thinking about the chair yarnbomb project. I have yarn (Noro) and a pattern in mind and Marylane is going to test-run the spiral pattern for the seat. She brought a swatch for one of the rods on the chair.
We really are thinking about the yarnbomb project.
Leslie knit a darling little sweater for Mira. It has a spiral, cobwebby design on the front – I KNEW I’d forget what the embroidery design is called. I said it over and over, but the margaritas made me forget. I’ll blame it on Joan.
Leslie admiring her work – as well she should! It’s beautiful.
A closeup of Mira’s sweater. Cute, cute, cute.
Well, Castoffs, that’s all I’ve got for this week. I’m still easing into being back from vacation, I guess. More next time at Leslie’s house. Enjoy the tail-end of summer because it’s supposed to start raining this week. Winter is coming and the leaves are starting to fall. Let’s all hold a thought for Julie whose daughter is getting married next week (Best wishes, Terra!) and for Mary whose daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter are coming for a visit (maybe we’ll see Aurora next week), and Joan starting on her journey home to Arizona.
See you at Leslie’s house and remember, keep those needles blazing!
