Here I am on a Tuesday night, moments away from the beginning of our knitting group writing a post. Why? Because I had this picture and felt that I needed a post to go along with it. This is my knitting group - I say "my" because I feel responsible for the success or failure of our little venture. While the night we meet has changed over the last few months, not much else has. We have six members that come every week to knit, eat and talk (mostly in that order). The first few months were spent teaching everyone who didn't know how to knit, how to knit and talking about the kinds of things we wouldn't talk about in mixed company. As luck would have it we all enjoy reading and usually end up discussing the books we read while we knit (and eat). I guess that will have to do until we take over the world - which I firmly believe we are capable of doing. And when we do it will be full of slightly overweight, well-read and warmly dressed people.

Ha! Take That Naysayers.....

Yes, it's true. I finished both of the Christmas gifts I knit for my boys. And as soon as I finished the last eyeball for Gid's Elmo sock I vowed never to knit for anyone else ever again. I'm not cut out for the pressure of deadlines - at least not those kind of deadlines. It's not like I can give them one sock or one mitten and call it good. "Merry Christmas! Yes, they are supposed to be like that. No sweetie you only need one. Well, the other children are wrong". What kind of mother would I be? Anyway, the very fact that Gideon has a handknit pair of socks now, makes me feel so much better about the blanket. I'm still going to finish it - but this time I can work on it without the guilt. I know it may sound selfish, but I want to finish my scarf first. That's looking promising as well - it's about five inches long. Only fifty more to go.
