Our First Knitting Get Together




Well it happened, and what fun we had. We got to knit and complain and solve the worlds problems. My friends Alice, Sheryl, Stephanie and Heather came over and I taught Sheryl and Alice how to knit. They were beginners having little to no knitting experience. But they left with half of their wash cloth done and had begun to work on the decreases. Its a really easy pattern:

Cast on 4 sts.
K 1r
k2 yo knit to end of row

continue until you have 45 stitches on your needle

Begin decrease:

K2, yo, k2 tog., knit to end of row

continue until you have 4 stitches on needle.

Bind off.

Well that's it, simple huh?

We decided that we would meet once a month and keep each other motivated and get some real knitting done. Unfortunatley I have not picked up needles since out fun date and I think I need to find something to motoviate me. I thought the felted slippers would do it but the same 2 rows sit on needles untouched. Sigh.... maybe this weekend, nope... the State Fair is in town and I want to go and eat fair food and take pictures! Maybe next week...
