Knitting Group Rules!

I know I haven't posted in a while. Kind of taking it easy after all that power knitting and posting during the holidays. BUT, how can I NOT show off these great FO's? First, here is Gloria in all her glory.


Isn't this top amazing ? ? She managed to complete this entire halter top with absolutely no pattern - beads and all. Way to go, Gloria. You win the January Knitter-of-the-month title! I'm scared to find out what your next project will be . . .


Here is Lynn, one of our new members, showing off the scarf she made for her granddaughter. I LOVE the colour combination. Congrats, Lynn - great job!


Here is baby Chloe wearing the Debbi Bliss sweater I made for her. I think you'll recognize her from other posts and can see how fast she is growing.








And last but not least we have BATMAN (also known as Graham) wearing the helmet toque I made him for Christmas. Little did I know his mom had made him the entire costume to go with it!

OK Gina, you are next girl - keep working those needles so I can post your FO next. Anne, Margie, Nicki, Pat A - get those knits and purls moving! Ricky, where are you? Pat B - come back to Canada soon - we miss you.

Our Knitting Group has started . . .

We had our first meeting of 2007 this morning. Gloria came with her daughter who is still on Christmas break. This is Vanessa wearing the sweater jacket that grandma Anne knitted for her. Isn't it beautiful? I especially love the ruffles she added to the sleeves and bottom. There's a matching scarf that really makes it a great outfit. Way to go, Anne! ! !

Pat A and Lynn joined us for the first time. Margie came too and has completed the back of her sweater for Garry and is now knitting a cable in the middle of the front. Zachary also joined us and just didn't get why we were ooing and ahhhing over the cashmere wool Lynn brought with her. We told him it's something you are born with . . .

So next week all the kids will be back at school and hopefully Gina, Ricky and Nicki can join us. I will be moving my office upstairs tomorrow and hope to make some changes to our library area which will be right outside my new office. I'm thinking of converting it (just a tiny bit) into a KNITTING ROOM! So, if you are reading this and have any ideas or suggestions, please let me know. For starters I want a bulletin board and maybe some pictures of our handiwork. Again, any ideas are welcome!

Three little bears . . .

Here are my three little bears from New England sporting their new hats, mitts and scaves that they got for Christmas. Love it!
