I spent some time with my wonderful knitting group this evening. It has grown and changed (all for the better) since I've been a member. Meeting up with these fun ladies is always a highlight of my week. Tonight, I mentioned that I didn't have a post planned for today so Mary kindly let me take some pictures of the group for the blog.
I'm sure all knitters say this but I think my knitting group is the best.
And finally, I have a tiny finished project that I made at the end of August. My friend Deb was having a not-so-ideal time as a first-year teacher so I thought what better gift to give a teacher than an apple (and knitted, no less)? I got the idea from Alana (she always has great ideas) and whipped this cutie up with some DK weight Noro Maiko.
I omitted the finger hole and instead of adding pellets to weigh it down (those puppies are $8 a bag and I only needed about an ounce!) I added about thirty cents worth of pennies and fiber fill to create a fun little paper weight.
Pattern: Finger Foods by Susan B. Anderson
Yarn: Noro Maiko, Debbie Bliss Wool/Cotton (stem), Wollmeise (leaf)
Needles: US3
Began: August 30
Completed: September 3
your knitting group looks like fun - where do you meet?
ReplyDeleteI loved Alanna's apple when she blogged about it and yours is just as lovely. The ingenuity is spectacular and pennies? Great idea!
ReplyDeleteI bet she will love it. I made apples for teachers when my kids were little, I loved them.

I would be so sad without my knitting buddies :) Yours looks like a fun group ~ PS my sister is a teacher and like any job it gets easier with experience.
ReplyDeleteI love those photos. It could be any creative group of women anywhere. So lovely to think how connected we all are.
