| So Many Knitting Meetups, So Little Time! |
This has been quite a knitting week. After barely getting anything done last week, my fingers have practically been flying...
Monday Yannick and I met up with my parents to check out some display stores. Before hand Yannick realized he needed some stuff he'd left at our store, which meant that we had to drive all the way down to work just to go pick it up, and drive all the way back...a 40+ minute round trip. Guess who brought her knitting? :)
Tuesday night was the Montreal Knitting Guild meeting. We had a speaker there, a woman whose name I forget right now but she makes and sells these wonderful felted bags, really inspiring. I worked on Yannick's Mega Socks. I was worried because the last socks I'd knit him had 17 sts to the ndl (4 ndls) and after getting my gauge and following the Simple Socks Plain & Fancy directions I had 21 sts/ndl. They looked huge! Later that night I had him close his eyes so I could try it on him and still end up with somewhat of a surprise...sure enough they were WAY too big. I pinched the extra and counted the stitches...guess how many sts I need to remove? Enough to end up with 17 sts/ndl! RRR
Wednesday night was the meetup for the Montreal Knits girls. I really wanted to go this time, and since Yannick promised me that Wednesday nights were for him to work on my little blankie, he agreed to come with. :]]] Then, after mentioning it to my cousin Robyn who knits and crochets, she decided to come too! So we were there almost all night, I think we only left around 9:30 or so. I had a really fun time, although either they raised the music volume, or I'm going deaf, 'cus I could barely hear anything said more than 1 person away from me. Next time I'm sitting in the middle! :) I only got one pic of all that knitting Wed, the one I just posted. |
