We met on another hot day at Leslie’s house. Inside was full of conversation crossing and recrossing, but it was cool because Leslie served us several great flavors of sherbert all together in bowls. The flavors blended wonderfully and were very refreshing. Add tea or wine and fig newtons and you couldn’t have a better treat.
Our lovely hostess.
Yum, tasty and colorful!
Francy’s daughter Betsy and granddaughter Grace joined us. We were all so surprised to see how much Grace had changed in just one year. Great to see you both, Betsy! We’re looking forward to your jewelry show next week.
Grace is enjoying her sherbert!
Lisa dropped by with her granddaughter Greta who is growing so fast! It’s hard to believe just how quickly the little ones grow. Grace had fun playing with Greta. Next year the playing will be a little more even.
Babyland. Adorable.
Marylane and Joan joined us for a little while but have been inundated with company lately so they had to rush away. Marylane did have time for a cuddle with Greta, though. No surprise, is it? She loves Greta and so do we.

With all the baby commotion, I was surprised to see that Julie and Linda had actually taken out their knitting. I took my scarf out too, just as a pretense that I might really knit. We all decided that it’s just too damn hot! No fun touching wool in 80+ weather, is it? No, it isn’t. That doesn’t mean that I can’t take a few photos though, just to make you think it’s still a knitting group.
I have knit a few more inches on my entre-lac scarf – mostly during the British Open.
I’ll probably knit more while the Olympics are on. Seems like knitting makes the time pass more quickly and pleasantly. Also keeps me from snacking so much! (Diet tip!)
Julie showed me the socks that she’s been slowly working on. One is finished and one is nearly finished. Perhaps one day she’ll be wearing them. What do you think, Jules?
One sock, two sock, both are blue sock.
Linda is still working on her fern patterned scarf but discovered a boo-boo. It’s hardly noticeable though, so she’s going to keep on going instead of ripping out six inches of intricate pattern. Don’t blame her one bit!
Linda’s pointing out the mistake. Hardly noticeable.
Mary found a darling pattern for a baby sweater and bought yarn for two – one for her grandson Moses and one for her granddaughter Aurora. Little bear ears make this sweater really cute.
Blue for Moses – Pink for Aurora.
We’ve narrowed our road trip down to two dates, so I’ll be polling everyone via email for the best time for us to trek up to Eureka. EUREKA! Sorry, couldn’t resist.
Next time we meet at Carol’s house – ahem, that’s Mrs. Sullivan now. Until then, Castoffs, keep those needles blazing but try not to catch your yarn on fire.
