Lions and Tigers and Bears Oh My!

Well, actually it was a flying pig, seal, and many other creatures that were either knit or crochet. We talked about naughty knits and knitted lingerie. It was a very interesting to find out about those books. I can't wait to get my hands on one and see what's in it!!


I was working on a sweater for my friend in the Bernat camouflage yarn. Her and her whole brood of boys hunt and I thought it would be a cute gift for her. I'm going to make the kntty.com cargo pants for her, too! I know at least 7 people who are preggers right now, so I will be knitting my hands away.


I purchased this cool yarn while in Pennsylvania. It's Sofa yarn. I looks really cool! I called the store and ordered a different color to make a scarf for the lovely lady I'm staying with. She has a camel colored coat that this yarn would look AWESOME with. Here's the green color. The beige is soooooo pretty, too! I just got it in the mail today.


Christine was making this cool bag out of recycled plastic bags from the grocery store. You fold the bag and cut them into strips and then knot the strips together to make the "yarn." It's really cool looking. Here's a pic of the bag. That's me sticking my face through the hole. It's actually kind of a cool looking bag for the market and stuff.

So, I also went to the Socks and Lox at Wegman's on Sunday. It was a nice relaxing Sunday morning just running our mouths. I had some french bread and low fat Muenster cheese. YUM!! So there's one quote from Cindy that day. "Every time I measure it it's 11"!" She's making this GORGEOUS cowl. I can't wait to see it when its done.


Some other quotes from the Thursday night meeting:

"There's a book about Twinkle?" I know, it just struck me as a funny sentence. I immediately went to elementary school when I had to learn Twinkle Twinkle Little Star 7 different ways. Gotta love piano lessons.


"If nobody made it for us it's not that important." That's just a good way to look at life. We all meet to make hand made goods for our friends and families. It nobody made it for, then it's just stuff and has no meaning. I love it!


"We don't need no stinkin pattern!" Yes, we're doing a raglan top down patternless KAL. I'm scared sh*tless! I've never made anything without a pattern. I hope it works!!


"It's a voodoo seal!" Yes, we had little figures knit or crochet. The seal did leave something to be desired. It was cute, but, like we said, if we had seen a picture of it beforehand, we probably wouldn't have made it.
