On Feb 18, 2011 we had some fun on Knit Night!
Woodina is moving along nicely on our community quilt! She is really enjoying the project. I wish I had a picture to post, but she has added a lovely red, and is planning to add wisteria - a soft muted lavender.
Sarah has perfected her crocheting and showed up with a beautiful start to her pink blanket. She left us on Feb 11 as a determined crocheter! Now she has beautiful stitches! Sarah, send us a picture.
We almost had some purple hair -! And, we discussed doing some spiral curls with a curling wand! Oh what talents we all bring to Knit Night! Thanks, Sarah!
Denise brought some abasolutely stunning quilt projects to share. My favorite is the Civil War quilt from a "Quilt of the Month" project. Each square has some real Civil War history. Denise send some pictures and I'll post them.
She also shared a great idea for a community knitting/crocheting an afghan project. I think it can work for us after we get the current project finished (with Woodina on it, it won't be long). It works like this: Everyone starts their own afghan and places the project with their own yarn in a plastic tote box. Each knit night or designated time (maybe every 2 weeks) you pass the boxes on to someone else to do so many inches/rows/squares on the project in the box. Well, it is hard to explain here, but I think it is a great idea. Denise can share more on this.
My granny square scarf is coming along nicely. It actually has inspired me to crochet at least one square every night - to be productive with my needlework.
I ordered a couple of really good needlework books on Amazon. I'll tell you all about them this Friday night.
I think I am making a Baked Omelet for this Friday night!
I hope all our knitting kittens are well and can make it this Friday.
Okay, I am going to close this post and publish it. I already lost the first attempt at this post - it was long and good and the website lost it before it was saved ughhhhhhhhhhhh!
