Well, That's A Look

I don't have any really good pictures to post, so I thought I'd show you this cute picture of knitting friends. I have knitting friends, too. Thank goodness we don't look like this these days. Do you suppose they were complaining about acrylic yarn splitting, how expensive that silk is, or that they couldn't get on Ravelry yet? Boy, they sure missed out. I bet they still enjoyed their knitting friends anyway.

Ingenuity

What do you do when you're a knitter and need stitch markers and don't have any? Improvise! We were on a flight to Kansas City for all of the wedding stuff when I realized I didn't pack any markers. DD2 came to the rescue with this idea. We took her gum out of the wrappers and twisted them into markers. It worked, till I got some real ones. It's a pretty temporary fix, but I thought it was very ingenious. Thanks Rach!

Wedding Knitting

Above is the "not quite finished" capelet that Lauren (the bride) will wear after the ceremony. It's turned out really pretty and is REALLY soft. The pattern is called Cocktail Capelet. It is actually very easy.

This is the Kelly Cardigan that I knit for Rachael to wear after Lauren's wedding. It has pretty pewter and crystal buttons down the front that I bought at Wool and Company, Geneva, IL.

Stitch N Pitch

Monday night was our local Stitch N Pitch at the Lake Elsinore Storms game. Can you see the crowds? I guess Monday's are not the best attendance. The poor Storms bombed, but I didn't pay too much attention anyway. There was a pitcher that was fun to watch, other than that we talked and stitched.

I'm not even sure I knitted too much. These ladies are all from Daily Fiber Yarn, our local knitting shop. Even funnier was the Knit Affair from Corona is owned by the wife of a work associate of KB's. I knew she looked familiar. How strange was that?
