What a fun night yet again. In attendance again was Barb, Heather and myself. And We actually got a lot of knitting done. I have pictures which I will post later this evening.
Barb is doing amazing on the scarf she is working on. For having not knitted in lets just say a long time she is doing AWESOME! Her stitches are more consistent than mine. Something I am still struggling with.
After posting the site for "The Ships Project" Heather was eager to jump in! She brought with her a hat that she started and finished other then the making up in 2 nights! And had already purchased wool to make 2 more. While at the party she worked the ribbing and a few inches of her second hat.
So it looks like our first charity knit has been decided! Everyone seems real keen on this and I agree. What we basically decided was for everyone to to just pick out the projects they want to do from the site and make whatever they can. Please make sure to read the site to make sure you have meet the guidelines for colors and sizes. I have signed up to join the Yahoo group which is were she posts the details of when and where to ship the items. It might be fun when it gets close to the deadline to do a last push and maybe arrange a knit-a-thon or something.
As Heather sat and wound a ball of wool which we all can't stand doing, we talked about maybe the group pitching in and buying one of those fancy winder things. That way you could just bring your wool to the parties and wind them. Just a thought I will start looking into the prices and reviews and we can review them.
We also did a quick lesson on posting on the blog. If anyone wants o give it a whirl and need my help give me a ring.
Last but not least the next gathering. Barb has decided to host the next party at her house. To try and get a few more people we may change the day. Possibly a Saturday. Barb I'll let you take it over from here.
So all in all we had a great time! Can't wait to do it again!
