Week 6

Food

• Lisa brought some spinach dip and two bottles of red wine made the table tonight! I brought coffee with me knowing it was going to be a long night with a nursery school meeting right after knitting.

Knit Projects

• Lisa was finishing up her hat and still working on the vented sweater.
• Margi finished the cords for hanging up her stockings, washed and blocked they look awesome! I will hopefully have my camera next week and take a picture of the final products. She was starting up another in green, we all loved the color while she had mixed emotions on it. Her plan was to make a Christmas tree on it using jewels as the ornaments, very creative! She also finished another hat, amazing how she can pump out these items!
• Kath was still working on the Einstein sweater working with the sleeve that she started last week using circulars. She is getting short on yarn so a fear of running out is there. She also made these super cute neck warmers with cables, we all grabbed a copy of that!
• JoAnn was working on the shawl, she also had a new bag of yarn and I forgot to ask her what she brought!
• Margi's friend Maureen stopped by and was making a hat, she said it was a way to transition her back in to knitting. You mean you don't have 5 projects going at the same time????

Topics Talked About

• First and foremost was the NYY parade. Lisa's son went to it and her friend who is a Red Sox fan. All I got out of her is that her friend said it was scary! My comment was that they reported the people were at least 25 deep lining the streets. Both Kath and I watched it on TV, agreed A-Rod's hat was goofy.
• Spoke briefly about my election and how it was a great night.
• Jodi Rell announced that she was not running for Governor of CT again, health more likely the reason.
• Spoke a little about candy in school, specifically in nursery school and why there should be no reason to have it there. Seems to me everyone is on the same page where less sugar being given, chocking on hard candy and healthy eating habits.
• H1N1 a topic, asked if my daughter was being vaccinated and I am hopefully getting in for Thursday night.
• Kath had an interesting job interview which sounded like the people were foaming at the mouth to get her in there! Did not sound too much fun for her and not suitable for what she wants to do now in her life. She can afford to be picky.
