catch up part 2

ok, so a little more catch up.


i couldn't resist showing you my birthday present from my friend denise. how cute is this? she coordinated 2 little bowls with some louet yarns. i'm a sucker for presentation :)


on the actual day of my birthday (party was weekend before) ellen,
naomi, joni (blogless) and i got together for happy hour and to cast on for our own little hemlock ring knitalong.


here is our progress at the end of the evening. pretty good for having been drinking while knitting (washington apple martinis for me)! sorry for the photo quality, these are iphone pics.

there has been much knitting on the hemlock since the cast on event - i'll blog that later.

and lastly for today's catch up...


i finished using my lovely birthday handspun from ellen to make the birthday cowl. i have a bit leftover and i might attempt some matching fingerless mitts.

fyi - there will be a bag sale in the next week or so.
