Gifts from Debra A…….given at our Friday morning knitting group last week. This was just a sampling…some of us had already stashed our potholders!

Last Friday morning workshop was a full house of…..

* Friendship

* Creativity…..the knitting needles were clicking.

* Gifts of handcrafted potholders by Debra A.

* An abundance of Valentine’s Day cards crafted by Kimberly -Daily Craftini. I meant to take a photo of the ones I purchased for gifts….but I dropped them in the mail before I whipped out my camera!

*Gifts of “Filthy Squirrel” handmade soap made in Hawaii. Karen H had just returned from her vacation in Hawaii. She came with soap and stories!

Our last post found us looking through our yarn stashes getting ready for our annual ’tis the Season celebration. We ate, we shared, we exchanged.

: Shari – sock knitting

: Susanne and Margot

: Brunch and more of the gang

: Susanne and Diane

: The hat!

We brunched – cheese, crackers, potato chips and clam dip, fruit salad platter, chocolate cake, bread, cookies, baked pears wrapped in proscuitto, champagne, margaritas….a great way to start a day!! We did manage to knit as well as eat!!

Oh darn….I captured the chatter on my iPhone video but it won’t upload here…just imagine the chatter of magpies and you have it!

We are blessed!

Posted in knitting, tagged friendship, knitting on May 5, 2012| Leave a Comment »

There is often so much to share and it doesn’t make it to “press” as quick as I would like. But today…Saturday, May 5…I am “driven” to share on a timely basis. The last 36 hours have truly been the blessing of friendships that have blossomed, grown, and are now cherished….these friendships sprouted from our coming together to share our love of knitting.

Yesterday Jean returned to our group after a few weeks off sorting out some health issues…she came to knitting…we cheered…we toasted Jean! This morning the Saturday group came together to share the same kind of friendship…and love of knitting..we celebrated our latest creations and upcoming events.

Last evening Kimberly of our Friday group was inspired to host a spontaneous knitting gathering in her backyard this afternoon…again…we knit…we toasted….we shared our continuing stories.

Jean says it so well……..

“The loving friendships we have created are extraordinary and enormously enrich my life. All this, and knitting too.”

I wish to echo Jean’s thoughts!
