Febuary 24th Thursday Knit Night

Hi There,
Another Thursday & another great night, full of laughter & knitting & crocheting.  The knitting/crocheting & conversation flowed so fast this past Thursday that it was at times impossible to keep up or insert an opinion in every fast changing subject.  Chris & I were left in the dust LOL!  There were a lot of new projects being done up around the table & I dutifully took pix of them all.  I was working on baby Liam's slipper socks & finished seaming them there, starting on the sock cuff that is knit on after main part of slipper is done.  Laura, one of the shop owners showed me a better way to seam up the cast on part & it worked much better than what I sewed on the other one.  Anyhow I finished the cuff later that night at home & Liam was wearing them by the next morning.  I have started the Mary Jane version for my Lovely granddaughter Alexa tonight while watching movies with Lon.  Our version of Saturday night, pizza, movies & knitting...not bad.  Had a freaking headache all darn day long & am glad to have it subside.  Okay so will shut up & post pix...off to Suzie's tomorrow for eating, knitting and BS'ing.  Am gonna make up a tray with vegies, cheese, olives, crackers & make some tuna to take to pass around. 

Laura & Chris were both knitting on the same sweater but in to different colors.  Chris' is a light pink, while Laura's is a lovely pale shade of lilac.  Very brave knitters with their first sweaters.

Here is a much better picture than last weeks of Ev's crocheted purse.  You can definately see the pleats better and the pattern picture is in the upper corner.  I think she has decided NOT to felt it as the pattern intended as it is just so elegant just the way it is.
Here is Erin trying on her sweater for size.  I wish the picture of this was better as it is really a simple but cute pattern and she knits so beautifully!
Suzy picked up this lovely new yarn baby & is trying her hand at the Curly Q scarf that Chris has already made two of.  I have to say Suzy yours is starting nicely and those colors are yummy looking.
This is Amy's camo cap she is crocheting for her young son.  He is going to love this.  She is going to be making him a partial face mask to go with it.  He is gonna love his Mommy BIG TIME for this set!
Here is Liam's Moc w/sock & they look adorable on him & are nice & warm.  Seriously this pattern knits up so quickly.  The longest part is the sock cuff you knit on afterward.  This would also look adorable without the sock cuff.
 This is a plaque Chris brought for show & tell that she bought.  It is adorable.  I think we might all get together sometime and try our hand at our own versions of this plaque.  Ummm, I guess we better start saving our knit & crochet magazines & sale papers.
All right that is all for now.  Hope this has inspired someone to pick up some sticks or a hook & get busy!
