What a great time we had last night! Melissa, Joanne, Kathleen, Ricki, Peggy, Claire & I all got together for a bit of knitting. Although I had already met/known everyone – for many of them, it was their first time meeting each other. The group hit it off – no awkward shyness, just loads of knitting and laughing. I can’t speak for everyone else, but I did more laughing than knitting! Visit Joanne & Melissa’s site for pictures – I only took these three.

The first two are from a series I may entitle You’d Give Me a Taste If You Loved Me.That’s Kathleen and my obnoxious pug Lucy who wanted to share a lemon square. Actually, Lucy made herself quite at home amongst the knitters – falling alseep on Melissa’s French Market Bag and getting involved in Kathleen’s stash. Luckily Kathleen is a pug lover so she was tolerant of Lucy’s pushy ways. Also pictured is the lovely Claire – she entered the home stretch on a sock project that has been lingering!

We ate too many lemon squares, had some wine and a slice of cake to celebrate Melissa’s birthday. perhaps a bit too much sugar?

How I love this blog. Go, read!

Company’s coming! Time to dust, vacuum, spit & polish the old homestead. What started out as a small knitting group is turning into quite the fiberistas’ gathering. Some of my new, cool internet friends will be here – Joann & Melissa and Kathleen.

Try explaining that one to your smart alec teenage daughters. Why it’s okay for Mom to go off and meet people she has chatted with on the Internet and not them. Because I say so, that’s why. Actually, what I did tell them is this: when they are 41, they can do whatever the hell they want, too!

Lest you think this is a party only for bloggers, Ricki, Peggy and Claire will be here as well!

hope I haven’t left anyone out!

so, how many batches of lemon squares shall I whip up??
