Wishing You Were Here

Our Barb's been toughing out a rough year and we've not seen much of her lately. So Claire organized a knitting project for us. A blanket of squares that we all knitted and contributed, and Claire pulled them together with a border (yarn donated by Laurel).

Barb loved it!

Many thanks to all those who contributed, to Laurel for the donation, to Claire for organizing the project, and to Lynn for delivering it for us!

















(My apologies for the crappy last photo, it was with my camera phone - hopefully Barb will bring it to SnB and I'll get a better pic!)

Annual Great Destash

This is only 50% of the pile, at the start of the evening:




By the time people brought in yarn they no longer wanted in their stash, it was a significant mound of yarn goodness! There was a give-away drawing from my stash: Malabrigo, bamboo, Gong (bamboo again), silk lace weight wool (2), and the superfine alpaca and angora (which went to Jacki's daughter). And at the end of the evening, it was history...

Last week, Carol finished her basketweave scarf:




Meanwhile, Heidi finished her first pair of socks:




She also made this fun turtle:








And our Courtney had several finished projects:

When A Camera Goes On Unscheduled Holiday

I ended up trying to get photos of Lynn's baby set she finished on my cell phone - but the photos just don't do her beautiful work justice!







I'm looking into a new camera for the SnB gatherings in 2010!
