Our final Castoffs meeting of 2014 was a low-key time with four of us and Marylane’s daughter, Kendra. It was fun to see Kendra and talk to her about her adventures with Venture Capitalism. She and partners are in the middle of a company startup involving alternate energy methods. I confess that a lot of her explanations were over my head, but I wish her great success and happiness with her career. We’re all proud of you, Kendra!
Congrats to Dr. Kendra!
As for the rest of us – we talked a lot more than we knit. I think we all brought our knitting, but only Linda actually knit a stitch. She was working on her spider web scarf with some beautiful fluffy mohair yarn. Lovely!
Beautiful color and yarn.
Deb has started a sweater for her husband, Glen, using a classic wool yarn and a stress free pattern from Knitting Pure and Simple. I love their top-down designs. Deb was hoping for a more challenging pattern, but this is what Glen wanted.
Classic design, classic yarn.
Not sure that Deb knit anything, because this is what we all looked like – relaxed and chatty – but it was a good afternoon. Thanks, Marylane!
Ah, chillin’ on a snowy afternoon.
Marylane and I have been knitting fingerless mittens using the same pattern. Hers is the mitt on the left (blue) and mine are the pair on the right. I know they look mismatched, but I’m using Noro yarn that has a lot of different colors in a skein. Same yarn for each, but the colors didn’t unwind in the same way. I like it, though.
I still need to add thumbs to mine.
That was it, Castoffs. I wish a Happy 2015 to you all! Until next week at Leslie’s house, stay warm and keep those needles blazing!
