Weekend Part Two

Posted by jackie blue on September 28th, 2005

OK, so I’m a day or two late for “tomorrow” but you know, work pops up once in a while and gets in the way. So last Sunday, our favorite yarn cafe, The Point, and our favorite online knit mag Knitty, teamed up to celebrate Knitty’s 3rd Anniversary and did a charity knitting cruise. How fun is that? Well, I’ll tell you, very fun. The fabulous Knitty editor Amy was in town for the shindig and we all had a blast. Here’s proof:

Weekend Part One

Posted by jackie blue on September 25th, 2005

Saturday was a brunch and knitfest with some friends. After all, Carolyn and JStrizzy were in town! I brought out the long neglected Lisette sleeves as it was the most mindless of the projects I want to get done first. Carb Coma kept me from taking more photos but I did manage some, though our esteemed hostess is sadly missing from the evidence.
Our gathering was also a great excuse for a yarn swap, as we were all sick of the stuff in our stash that never seemed to get used. I unloaded some Patons Icelandic, Rowan Linen Drape, and the remainder of last year’s Brooks Farm Rhinebeck Mohair extravaganza. I loved that stuff but really didn’t need two sweaters out of REALLY WARM AND FUZZY mohair. Live and learn. I came away with some gems, like the Elena I wanted in off white but they were out of when I ordered, and some really soft natural colored alpaca, some Lara cotton yarn and a few balls of RYC Cashcotton 4 ply. Whee! I didn’t photograph the haul yet. But here’s highlights from Saturday:

Tomorrow, the Knitty/Point cruise.
