Knitters are seriously hardcore. Very little can get between a knitter and his/her Knit at Night - not even a tornado watch. I know, for those of you from the Midwest, a watch is nothing. But for those of us from New England, it is exciting and scary stuff. We're not used to it, and not entirely sure how to handle it.
Clearly the solution must be to knit. And we did. Lots of us.
Including Wendy, who has been visiting us this week from TN (yay Wendy!):
And my dear friend Sophie who came all the way from The Netherlands to join us for Knit at Night. (Ok, she is also in the States on vacation with her family, but KAN was an important stop.)
Sophie and I went to Dartmouth (college) with Lizzie (hi Lizzie!), and William and Mary (grad school) together, but it has been years since we've seen each other.
Last night I got to meet the wonderful Bart and their lovely daughter Leila.
Notice Leila's sweater?? It's a Sprout!
They brought us some traditional Dutch treats that we enjoyed thoroughly. Thank you!!
Of course there was much knitting around the room. I didn't catch many project pics, but Cheryl snapped a shot of her boob.
(Hee, hee - couldn't resist - thanks Cheryl!)
And I HAD to take a picture of Adrienne's Seascape Shawl. She is using Spunky Eclectic Summer and it is incredible.
Next to it is a picture of the hoodie Becka was wearing last night. Seems that this pattern is everywhere! Jen saw it on her window shades. Very cool.
Oh, and I absolutely can't forget to show you Mindy's fabulous top. Check out the ribbon she found for the finishing touch - perfect!
