Week 3

Food

It was all about bread this week! Did we have a meal plan set from the previous week?

• Lisa came with stuffed breads of potato, cheese and sausage. Very good!
• Kath brought a lemon cake, recipe by Williams Sonoma. Anything lemon is her favorite and this cake was soooooo lemony, yum!
• Wine was brought by Margi's guest Maureen. I am doing a horrible job with the wine and remembering what was brought. I might have to start writing it down.

Knit Projects

• JoAnn is cruising right along on her shawl.
• Margi puts us all to shame! I forgot to bring the camera and she has already blown by her stocking project as shown on this blog, started another one, finished a hat and started another! She posed the question to all of us if her stocking foot was long enough as done by her directions. We all felt it was proportionally just fine. Who was giving her that notion it was not? Her husband told her she needed to make it longer. Denied, rejected and opposed by all in the group. The hats she made were the campus hat design that allowed a pony tail to come out of the top. I modeled it again for everyone since my hair was up, very cute. Pictures next week.
• Lisa is back and working on her sweater with the yarn I love!!! She is not to keen on me taking a picture of it, worried about her progress but to me she has made great strides on this sweater and I predict will be done in record time....for Lisa that is!
• Kathleen is working on her Einstein Sweater project, chocolate brown, many skeins involved, two per panel as she stated. Looking good and working up fast. She brought in two other sets of yarn she plans on using for projects. One is a felted bag we all did several months ago, a mohair with deep purple and some pink splashed in it and adding the purple and pink as the main part of the bag, gift for her niece. The other is a black sweater, the one Lisa is working on. Her issue is she does not have enough black mohair and it is probably 6 plus years old. Kath has evidently asked several people at sit-n-knit and us how she can make it work and we all seem to have come to the answer she does not want to get. Need more mohair! So Margi is on a mission to match it.
• Me....I did not attach the buttons yet, will do it this week and I am 3/4 done with the Einstein Sweater for my daughter. I plan on having this done by next week, with buttons attached!
• Maureen, Margi's guest who she had worked with brought an unfinished project she had found. We all have that situation going.

Topics Talked About

• Walking in to Margi's house, the ALCS game NYY vs. Angels game was on, this of course consumed Kath, Lisa and myself. As much as I complained that the game was on at 4pm on a Monday, it was very cool to watch it together. This just confirms to me that we need to go to a game next year. Much of the talk was about Saturday night's game, I went with m husband and stayed for the whole game. Lisa said she fell asleep by 11:30pm that night and had no idea who won.
• Maureen confessed she is a Red Sox fan, but not an obsessed one. We confessed we are obsessed Yankee fans, I think she saw that in full effect.
• JoAnn sounds like she will be going to the Stitches East held in Hartford this weekend.
• Lisa recaped her college tour she took, showing her son a few colleges from R.I. to New York, all seem to be priced about the same in the upper $30k's!
• Did I miss anything? Besides bringing my camera?

Meeting adjourned 7:30pm.
