knit gatherings
this past weekend was full of knitting activities! on saturday i hosted a monthly knitting group made up of past co-workers. it always involves lots of food, drink and conversation. on sunday, megan, katy, denise and i made a day out of going to churchmouse yarn & tea for their 6th anniversary sale. bainbridge island is just a short ferry ride from seattle and has other cute little shops besides churchmouse. of course it also is home to mora, an amazing ice cream shop. we finished our day off by having a scoop and then heading back to the ferry. the picture above is all of us with our handknit socks on the ferry deck (denise wore a handknit scarf so no socks, but in her place is christy who we also met up with on the island). the shop was taking pictures of anyone who wore a handknit and giving away a little giftie so who could resist!
as promised, here is a shot of the yarn i bought from spritely goods (see a few posts back). i am using a pattern from sensational knitted socks. isn't it pretty?
that is it for today. i'll be posting the goods i bought at the sale soon.

What a great sock--the colors in the yarn still look great, without obliterating the stitch pattern. Well done!
Very pretty indeed! My stitch markers arrived yesterday and they are fantastic. I didn't realize how small they were -- the detail is amazing. They also mark my stitches perfectly! My green gable thanks you.
What a great pattern and color on the sock. Are you doing the magic loop or just circular?
oh the socks are coming out fantastic, I can't wait to see how they look once they're complete!
Pretty, pretty socks in both singles and groups!
Mmmm. I'm going to have to check out that ice cream shop next time I'm on Bainbridge. Sounds yum!
Love the feet shot.
