Three summers ago we organized charity knitting, using patterns from Knitting For Peace. The store window was full of doves, and we sent off chemo caps, tiny hats for premies, and two afghans went all the way to Afganistan.
Wednesday morning was the designated time to stop in and knit. Some knitters came once, some came a few times, and some decided that they were having such a great time together that they have kept on knitting together.
Their knitting experience is vast. They settled on afghans, knitting squares and crocheting them together. As so many other knitters have noticed, social knitting is best when the knitting is simple enough that it doesn’t interfere with good conversation.
Here’s the most recently finished-
Afghan for Afghans
Since it’s all wool Afghans for Afghans is a good destination for the blankets. This one isn’t complete, but you can see the arrangement of the colors and patterns.
A schedule change meant that they had to switch to Monday, so now the week begins with a knitting session.
Here’s the crew
Monday Knitters
Jean, Iris, Marilyn, Marge, and Kathy- I think a couple are missing.
Wonderful ladies, great knitters.
Isn’t that just like knitters always wanting to spread warmth and cheer through wooly objects. Knit on ladies.
