Another Delightful Day

We've added two more to the group...Katelyn and Amanda

Katelyn is 11...she learned to knit in school last year. Jen has taken her 'under wing'...refreshed her memory and now she is knitting a colorful scarf. And wouldn't you know it...in the drawings today she won a beautiful skein of homespun yarn in her school colors. Her face lit up when she saw it...I for one, look forward to seeing what she knits with it.

Amanda has been knitting for quite awhile...check out her page on www.ravelry.com ...

Jennifer made great progress on a shawl...love the color...although I believe it's bluer than what is in the photo...


Suzanne worked on her mosaic sweater...looking good



Pat made progress on a beautiful shawl...



Christy...showing off her hat...


Jen brought a couple skeins of 'halloween' yarn to share...


Jen also modeled a cowl that Paige was working on...

Marlene arrived wearing a gorgeous shell she knitted...




MaryAnn worked on mosaic socks for the Scarfest Sock group on Ravelry....(sorry, didn't get a photo)...

Paige was also working on a shawl...as was Amanda...

I worked on my shawl...just a simple little one...pattern from Ravelry ~ Carol's Clever Little Shawl...I just love how it is progressing...

Drawings were held...we had enough donations that everyone went home with something...

A Big THANK YOU to everyone who donated...it is very much appreciated

Nice?

First off, we've had wonderful weather here the past few days...but, like all good things it didn't last as long as we'd like and it's supposed to be in the 90's today.

Last week I made one of our favorite dishes..it necessitated using the oven. Well, I thought I'd make a pie today so I turned the oven on...turned my back less than a minute and wow... the kitchen and dining room were filled with smoke! I turned the oven off and the vent on boost! The smoke is gone but the smell. Evidently when I used the oven last week I didn't notice that a bit, well a big bit, ended up on the bottom of the oven.
