March 17th Knit Night

After missing a couple of weeks of knitting due to a cold that returned to me 3 times I was grateful to finally be back. I was still weak from being sick & about halfway through this night I almost laid my head down on the freaking table to simultaneously sleep & drool. I am pretty sure the fiber divas would have smacked me around with their knitting bags had I done that. I know that sounds nasty of them but perfectly normal compassionate people have been known to turn ferocious when it comes to getting human slobber on their yarn. I say human because they don't seem to have the same reaction when it is their beloved animals. I endured & kept myself upright & I think I even managed a whole whopping 3 rows of knitting on a toddler size slipper. It was pitiful but I have found if you make a lot of noise & grunt & groan A LOT about doing the knitting you can fool people into thinking you have just managed to knit almost an entire outfit LOL! But I know the truth, three lousy rows. So here are some picks of knit night.
here is Chris in her lovely new sweater. This is knit in the round on large needles & is a simple pattern. Michelle the shop owner has knit two of these, Chris has knit this lovely one & Laura has knit one. Dani bought the yarn to knit two of them and I finally caved & bought the pattern & yarn to make one even though I am not a fan of knitting on large needles, the mighty have fallen...I shall be making this one too and complaining the whole way LOL!
These are crocheted strawberries that Amy crocheted up. She just thunked up the pattern all by her little ole self. The girl is either two smart fer her own britches or has too much time on her hands BG!

Here is Dani & Laura knitting. Dani is making a really pretty two toned blue sock that I was trying to get a closer picture of and failed miserably.

Here is a picture of Laura Spinning with her drop spindle, very cool Laura!

This is Laura's knit baby bootie.

These are two scrubbies that Ev crocheted. Wait one of these was made by someone else. I think it was Chris? Anyhow, not pasties..scrubbies LOL!
so that was knit night and a good time was had by all!
