If you haven't heard about this video, and especially if you haven't watched it, you should! This is a hoot!
Thanks to Gwen for pointing it out to me. Is remarkably well done, clever, great animation, from annekeAnna in Jerusalem, IL - who notes this is for "When knitting becomes an obsession."
What a riot - although you have to wonder what strange miracle saved her clothes . . . .
Here's the flyer I worked up for the St. Louis North County Knitting Group. If you click on the picture, you will get a larger image you can actually read. I am trying to organize a group to KIP (Knit In Public) on Wednesday evenings at the Corner Coffee House in Ferguson. They are open until 10 p.m., so I am shooting for 7 to 9 p.m., Wednesdays, beginning October 18th.
If you live in North St. Louis County, please pass the word. This is open to the public and both experienced knitters and people wanting to learn to knit are welcome.
Pictures will be posted here of the innagural evening's participants! I am really excited about the prospect of meeting new people and being able to visit with some old friends!
If you are interested, please contact me through my blog profile or leave a way for me to contact you in a message on here! Thanks - and am looking forward to seeing everybody who's interested on October 18th!
Here it is!!! So far, so good . . . . I love, love, love this
sweater, however, it can get rather boring. Seems socks are more fun that long, drawn out sweaters!
I must admit the armholes were a blast, but there's still 2" left till I reach the back of the neck. At least there's fewer stitches. The one redeeming feature - the color. This is MY color! Sort of an antique Williamsburg blue, so that will make it all worthwhile. And, from looking at the pattern, it seems the front will be MUCH more fun! Anyway, I'm going to finish this sometime soon.
The Gansey has been sitting there patiently waiting for attention and occasionally it is admired and fondled. The initials are complete and it will help pass the time this winter, for sure!
In other news, I am considering starting a St. Louis North County Knitter's Group. Hopefully it will meet someplace close to where *I* live, like the Ferguson Corner Coffee House. Drove by there tonite and noticed they didn't have a huge number of cars parked around, so perhaps they'll welcome a bunch of gossipy women knitting and drinking hot, coffee-flavored milkshakes! If you or someone you know would like to come knit, probably on a Wednesday evening, from 7 to 9 p.m., please email me or leave a comment here. Most likely, this won't happen until mid-October, since my daughter-in-law is going in for surgery next week and would like to be included and learn to knit. Might be fun! Hopefully, it will be a nice, new outlet in North County.
