Another Set of Name #'s

It is just amazing to me how a group of ladies can have similar names. Have explained before about our group having 3 Mary Ann's/Maryan's. We know them as #1, #2 and #3.

Well we now have 2 Liz's. And we even are known as "Lizzie" to our families and close friends and detest being called Beth. Like don't even go there.

During today's sessions we all talked and said how confusing will this be, #1, #2, #3 and the Maryan's/Mary Ann's and/or Liz's won't know who we are referring to.

So it seems like we will start referencing M1, M2, M3 and then L1 and L2.

I know this sounds like such a stupid post but life is fun and how many times in a group of women who did not know each other before and came together with a common interest such as knitting something like thing would happen.

Sock knitting is beginning to hit full steam. Bev is being asked to help with teaching a sock class again. You go Bev, you did a great job last time.

Everyone have a good week and see you next Thursday.

Kntting for the Holidays

Not sure how many of us are knitting for the holidays, but it sure seems as if some of our works in progress (WIP) are kind of being put to the side as we all start to realize if we want to do some knitting for families/friends for the holidays, we need to get rolling.

Right now, there are some good sales going on at Joann's and Michaels. Remember your coupons and also make note, you cannot use your coupons at Michael's on books. Apparentley they used to do this but not anymore. Also remember that Beverly's will honor sale coupons from J and M's as well.

Getting into my shawl and also have decided to get into socks. Very interesting to say the least. See everyone on Thursday and I'll remember to bring my camera.

Knitting on Tuesday Evening

Well everyone, I went over and knitted with the Auburn Courthouse ladies on Tuesday evening. What a nice group of people. The coffee shop is nice but was very warm.

It was nice having a glass of wine and a warm cup of Tomato/Cheese Soup that was great.

Interestly, met a lady knitting there who was our server at the annual Crab Feed we attend each year over at the fairgrounds. You know what they say about the six degrees of separation. Small world.

Anyway, mentioned to them about us knitting over at Auburn Needleworks' on Thursday. So we may have a couple of new people dropping in to knit with us.

Projects in the Works

Last week Roberta joined us after being gone for about 6 weeks. She was globe trotting over in France and Italy. She shared a couple of her experiences with us and sounds like she had a good visit. She even visited with some ladies she met over in France last year.

We had quite a few new people join us last week. Seems as word is getting out about us and we are enjoying the new knitters and checking out what they are working on and/or have finished. One of the ladies who showed up last week, Daniella, told us about the Tuesday night knit group who meet over at the Courthouse Coffee shop in town. I have been telling her for months that I was going to drop in. Decided tonight I will do this. In checking our their site on Ravelry they have quite a few knitters who join them on Tuesday evening. Looking forward to getting together with them tonight.

Maryan #2 (remember we have 3 Mary Ann's in our group, so we have numbered them) is getting ready for her Christmas craft show. She participates with others up in Cool, CA. Their craft faire is Saturday, November 7th. I'll get the hours from her this week and put that out for everyone to see.

I'm finishing up the hat for Jason. Actually finished it, but then realized it was too big. Forgot about it stretching a bit with doing a rib in it. Just about finished with that and then I am going to begin working on a sweater. Maryan and I both have this same sweater pattern that we both like. It is always fun to work on a similar project as someone else so you can compare notes and stuff. Roberta, is reworking her Raglan sweater. Believe she will be glad when she is done with this one. She is off to Michigan to visit her Mom so she won't be with us for a couple of weeks.
Cynthia is working on a special project, Bev is working on Socks and Barb finished the biggest slippers we all ever saw.

Happy knitting everyone and see ya on Thursday.
