We celebrated! We lunched at Picante’s in Berkeley…we moved to the outdoors as the afternoon moved along. Terry was showing us her Crytal Palace kit shawl when a young man walked to his table. He and his friends were so impressed with her work…we all struck up a lively knitting conversation. They were impressed to meet the “knitting” Fire Captain.
Terry will be moving to Shasta area….she promises to come back and see us on a regular basis. I sure hope so…her knitting energy is surpassed only by her own personal energy! We agreed…we all have many stories and tales to tell and share.
Socks for kilts!

When Carol asked us to help her find out the details of a dog show in Vallejo tomorrow (which is now today), we were all over it. We dropped our knitting needles and pulled out our technology! Don’t let Debbie fool you…the one with knitting needles in her hands. When she saw me pull out my iPhone camera…she grabbed her needles. Love you Debbie!
As always….another fun knitting workshop. In just a moment or two, I will post what Debbie has crafted. In the meantime, Mary is finishing a hat for a fellow knitting workshopper who is undergoing cancer treatment, Marsha is working I-cord on yet another one of her versions of her E-Z Tomten sweaters, and Grethe shared the work on her Simple Vest designed awhile ago by Lorna Miser, Carol shared the progress on her Japanese inspired bolero sweater….and I shared the progress on my MaggiKnits Large Cowl design.
We missed Phylis, Debbie G, and Helen!
Rabbit Stick

I was so excited recently! Marsha returned from vacation at Rabbit Stick…..she came to knitting workshop full of such excitement and enthusiam and rightly so! I caught her enthusiam.
She had spent several days in Idaho at a creative native craft experience. She felted fabric from old sweaters and made boots. She crafted (pounded) blanket pins (cowboy pins) out of copper wire..looked like shawl pins to me.
She estimated that 300 + people were in attendance….Rabbit Stick was celebrating its 25th anniversary….Marsha has been going for years….I’m thinking it would be a wonderful experience!
