the blue blog archives: talksmiths

I got practically no knitting done this Sunday at Knitsmiths. Those girls are just too much fun! We talked, laughed, leafed through pattern books, and shared tips and opinions. What a great group.

I don't think Kerstin (left) knit a stitch either! And isn't that Sandy silly? Hey look, there's new Knitsmith Lisa (on the right) from counry turtle knitting. And since I owe Sandy a good picture, here are the North Shore Knitbloggers, Sandy and Lisa, not knitting. I kid! Sandy was working on her Plaid mittens (that's Rowan Plaid). I must have started coveting her extra skein of Plaid a little too loudly -- "I want Plaid mittens too!" --, because she gave it to me. How sweet! So, once I got home, I started knitting:

Check out the Knitsmiths' page for pics of what other Knitsmiths can do when they actually knit!

Another women and I started meeting to knit on our lunch hour and that has now grown to about 6 women on and off and we just were laughing yesterday as to how little knitting we do get done because we are sharing ideas and patterns etc. Just love it!

plaid mittens? Now theres an idea. I've got a spare skein knocking about that I didnt know what to do with. I'm a little over scarves but mittens would be different.

Talksmiths is right! I had to stretch out my jaw a few times from all the talking/smiling/eating that was going on. But I did knit a stitch or two. Honestly, I did. :)

Yes, you did forget about the eating. Those cookies were scruptious! Glad you like the rowan plaid. It's always my pleasure to suck people in with me....er...um...encourage others! :) I love your mitten!
