What a laugh we had at this weeks knitting group gathering, topics of conversation ranged from the sublime to the ridiculous, I really don't think I have laughed so much in a long time. That's not to say that we didn't get any knitting done, I did aim to finish the back of the sweater I am knitting in Sirdar Eco yarn, a lovely soft and natural coloured DK Yarn but it didn't happen, what with interested customers coming into the Gallery with cries of 'Oh what's going on here, how lovely a knitting group' and then stopping for a chat. It's amazing how interested people have been to see our group enjoying just getting together knitting, laughing and with much nattering going on, not to mention the tea and biscuits!
Pauline brings her best friend Tess who is neatly tucked away in the window alcove (as neatly as you can tuck a wonderful and very beautiful ex racing and now rescued by Pauline, greyhound). Pauline is knitting a throw with different patterned squares which is coming on a treat, I'm not quite sure who is going to end up snuggling into the throw whether it will be Pauline on chilly winter evenings or perhaps the beautiful Tess will win out in the end with those beguiling eyes of hers, after all she is very special.
Chis was again on hand to guide and advise, she is a expert knitter, who has been knitting for many years and this week she was just finishing a scarf she has knitted for a Hospice charity event. It was brightly coloured with a mix of unusual and textured yarns of many complimenting colours.
Bev was knitting what is known as the 'Bob Marley' Bag, again brightly coloured and knitted in a variegated yarn and talk about 'big' it was hanging off her knee from all sides. But this will all change when it goes in the washing machine to be felted, so its any body's guess, it will either come out at a reasonable handbag size or something more akin to a 'dolly bag'. So watch this space lets hope Bev has beginners luck on her side.
Sue and her friend Di came again and we were also joined this week by Frances from Ashton. It was good to see everyone enjoying themselves and the afternoon passed very pleasantly and quickly.
