Knit friends inspire me

By -



There is something about knitting in our alone moments that is wonderful.
AND
THere is something about getting together with other knit friends that is equally
as wonderful.

Yesterday I met up with Kathy, Carol and Joany. Joany is nearly twice our age, (sorry to tell Joany) and she amazes us every time we knit together. Yesterday Carol and JOan were knitting their Feather and Fan Stoles in St. Charles Rittrato.
It was like I had an itch that couldn't be scratched. Halt all the current plans, I have to go get that yarn and join them. Kathy has already finished hers.

Kathy is knitting a train scarf. She calls it a train scarf because she knits it on the train on the way home from her job. I love the colors. Kathy also has me convinced I cannot live, simply cannot continue to live, without some Sympbhony needles.

I have to go now, and buy that yarn. After all, it is nearly a week into the New Year......

I WOULD LOVE YOU TO LEAVE A COMMENT>

My knitting group meets every Tuesday night, and it is so much fun to visit, to laugh, and to show what we are knitting. The group has a wide age-range, but we are fast friends. I LOVE my knitting pals.

Looks like a fun time and the feather and fan shawls are gorgeous! I don't know about Symphony needles but I love my Signature needles! So I looked up the Symphony needles and now know why--I don't knit with wood needles. Don't know why!!

Knitting friends are the best friends -- well, at least that is what I think. :-)

I was only able to knit with a bunch of other knitters one time. And even that was kind of hard because I needed help in learning how to knit some socks, but since I had nothing with me, I didn't get much help.


But maybe one day, I will get a chance to have myself and a bunch of other knitters together, and have some fun. Looks like a great experience.

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
