Add it up! Add it up!
Feb. 3rd, 2004 08:49 amGood morning all. I woke up this morning singing the violent femmes and dreaming about knitting. I guess it is official that I am a mental case if I am dreaming about the stuff! But I am sure that my dreams had everything to do with how I spent my evening.
Had a great night last night. I taught a volleyball friend, Erin, to knit this past fall. (HI Erin!) and she made several scarves for family members for the christmas holiday. It was great. She was a fabulous person to teach and I learned a thing or twelve in the process of teaching. Right now she is working on a scarf for her beau, and I think the colors are amazing. Anyway, she told me that a friend of hers, Petra, was into knitting and lived up the street from me. (quite literally! we are 1/2 a block a part from each other!) We got together last night for the first time with another friend of theirs, Amy. We had some pretty amazing food, and then into the "salon" for knitting. It was fabulous. Nothing like a cold winter's night, a fire in the hearth, and several people with which to talk and knit. Petra and her husband Steve were wonderful hosts. Steve even knit a few stitches before being called away (quite literally- by phone). Amy was working on a beautiful manos hat in a lovely cranberry/jewel red color. Petra began her felting project with a very soft pink manos. And Erin started to make some gauntlets out of a silvery yarn from green mountain spinnery (Erin I am highly jealous of that yarn!) Actually, I am highly jealous of everyone's yarn. I was planning on working on Darci's bag, or even my beaded one, but decided that with large groups it is easier for me to work on something more plain. I took out Jean's baby sweater and got quite a bit done on it. Sue and I headed home, later that evening, very happy (Sue got plenty done on her presentation for class) and worked a bit more until we toddled off to bed.
Today is volleyball night. I want to try to finish the left side of the baby sweater today if I can. Ever since I packed my bag to go babysiting this weekend with 3 of my projects I ahve just left them in there. It is easier for me to carry them around and knit on whichever I feel more comfortable with at the time.
Ok, I better jet, my work is calling. I have new "duties" this week. Dan is taking someone else's job, and well... I am Dan. (I just need the mustache) I hope everyone is well. Feel free to drop me a line in the comments section.
