TUESDAY NITE KNIT

This is our MIA knitter, Linda. Well, its her foot and her FIRST  sock!!!!! She did a fantastic job.
I felt I needed to put her picture on top of the others, because e she worked so very hard to learn how to do the gusset and turn. Her yarn is the stuff with the aloe in it, so her feet will be nice and soft! Great job, Linda. Glad you came back. Have a nice vacation in Hilton Head!

 I felt it was time to share my knitters and crocheters with you.  Every Tuesday night, we are together. We laugh, we eat, we laugh, we cry, we laugh, we share. Oh yes, and we get a few rows of knitting and crocheting in.  I am so proud to say these are my friends. They are the kind of people you hope you meet in your lifetime. They really like you, care about you, worry about you , and celebrate all those little things with you, like...... finishing a row!  And then there are those major moments, like finishing a beautiful shawl, your first sock and a prized afghan! 

Knitter number 1, Jody and her beautiful Shawl.  Jody is a great knitter, she is a lefty. And she knits completely opposite of a righty. It is sooo cool to watch her. We love having her with us, her laughter is infectious.  
    
This is Vicky's leg. This is her first sock! She did a great job! I taught her to graph the end tonight, and she did it like a pro. Vicky had a hard time with double pointed so she taught herself the two circular needle way. She finished the sock in no time.  Vicky is our speed knitter. She is a no nunsense (LOL) kind of girl!







This is my favorite knit nite buddy. My mom. We are so very proud of her. She claimed she could not learn to do anything crafty.  Now, we all knew different. We just had to convince her. We did! This isn't her first afghan, but her second!!! Woop, there it is! Go momma, go momma! We love having her with us every tuesday.  She and her very best friend come together.  
That would be Donna. She isn't pictured, but her work is.  That is her work below. The black and gray. It's from the einstein book. Donna is such a hard worker. She produces the most beautiful pieces. She never likes her stuff, but trust me, it is always really nice. 



                                                                                      And our last knitter tonight is.....................
Chrystal. She is making a beautiful jacket for her, well maybe for her, maybe for her baby girl. We will see. Chrystal always is our steady, level headed, always puts things in perspective kinda girl. When we are troubled by something, she always has a way of making you feel better. And its always very practical, very, why didn't I think about it that way, advise.


These are just a few of us, there was one knitter who was MIA, and another who comes when she gets the knitting bug.  We all have so much fun together, that I wish the night would last forever. But then, I wouldn't ever get any knitting done! Something I need to do, right now.
Keep knitting. Too hot, try cotton or soy or maybe corn!!! Just knit!
