I am headed to Atlantic City tomorrow! Going for an overnight stay with two girlfriends — I am looking forward to it. I haven’t been there in about 20 years! I am not one to gamble (at least when it comes to $$). But like everyone else, I have dreams of that one quarter hitting it big! If I hit it big, I will take all my winnings to spend at the Sheep & Wool Festival!!. Perhaps some hand forged, bronze knitting accoutrements ala Julia?

note to self: use the word forge more often – very sexy!

The ‘ladies’ came over today for some lunch and knitting. We usually rotate the hostessing duties, but they all agreed to come again to my house since I need to be home for the remodeling. What a nice time we had. Here are some pics of what everyone is working on.

First we have Ricki’s ‘Sod Sweater’. This name was given to her project by her husband (not to worry, revenge is a dish best served cold!) All got a good chuckle out of that one and when it is not being worn, it is hard to deny that it does indeed look like a summer lawn! The yarn is so interesting. It is a combination of an eyelash and a ribbon yarn. It looks like it is knit with two threads, but this is an all-in-one type thing. The pattern is from Elann.

Next for your perusal, is Peggy’s latest. (she of fabulous stitch marker fame!) Her project is from the Green Mountain Spinnery book.

Last, but not least are two pictures of my ‘how’d she do that?’ socks. I am still agog over the self striping yarn!
