I spent the better part of the day knitting and hanging out at the local yarn shop. A group gathers there Tuesday thru Saturday when the shop is open for business and knits, and sometimes someone crochets. For twenty dollars a month you can do this as often as you like and get help with your knitting. At lunchtime you can either bring your lunch, or we order carry out and bring it in for lunch. It's not just a knitting group, it's a gathering of friends.
Oftentimes there will be group projects that a bunch of the ladies will choose to do together. Recently was a vest that a number of decided to do. I am behind and just now getting to the final bit of knitting on my vest. A number of ladies are about to begin an afghan of patchwork squares. While I am doing an afghan, mine isn't the group project, my afghan is a striped chevron pattern that I found on Ravelry. There have been quite a number of group projects over the eight or so years that I have been going there.
Speaking of knitting projects, I have quite a number of UFO's: Un Finished Objects. (I also have some crochet ufo's as well.) I need, or rather should, start working on some of them and getting at least a few done and off of the list. Here's just a few, and I mean just a few: crocheted multi colored shawl; mohair green fichu shawl; off white fichu shawl; green leaf shawl; small OSU Knook bag; small OSU Ipad bag; striped sweater; red, white, and blue afghan; purples afghan; and these are just the things off of the top of my head!
Well I need to get back to my knitting. Until next time, I'll be stitching madly!
