Finally! We can meet at Woodland Park again. We had a wonderful sunny day, although dark clouds hovered in the west. Every Castoff except Deb was there. Mary was back from her long granny-nanny stint in Colorado and Joan was back with us from her winter in Arizona.
It was great to see all our knitters and it was fun to catch up with them. Most of us were knitting the same projects, but they were new to some. When I first walked across the grass, I could hardly believe how many Castoffs I saw. A circle of wonderful women.
Linda’s short row scarf is beautiful. She is pleased with how easy it is to knit – once you get the pattern straight in your head. I’m definitely putting this scarf on my list.
Joan has returned to her summertime scarf. No matter how much we try to convince her that there are other stitches than the knit stitch, she rejects our attempts. I guess it makes sense – she really doesn’t need knitted garments in hot Arizona.
Marylane is working on her second Christmas stocking to be felted; Carol is working on her wavy squishy blanket and Leslie is knitting a scarf. Leslie’s grandson, Jett, was born a few weeks ago. Congratulations to all! The pictures of Sienna’s family were so precious.
Here’s a close-up of Leslie’s scarf.
Julie and Mary were catching up. Julie’s son, Nate, just turned 25! Happy Birthday, Nate! Mary brought some knitting, but I never saw her take it out. Too busy talking to us.
Francy, Michele and Joan were yakking and knitting. Couldn’t hear it all, but I know Michele is anxious for school to be out next week.
I hope our good weather continues to allow us to gather in the park next week. The forecast calls for hot weather by Monday. Yay! See you next time, so keep those needles blazing and say hello to summer.
