then I have to go give the dog her heartworm meds and cast on my besotted scarf!
I had fun at the snb tonight. Lots of people were there! There were quilting ladies and a few people I never even got a chance to introduce myself to. And I finally got to meet Adam! The notorious guy knitter of Albuquerque! This guy has fierce knitting skills yo. That intarsia blanket he made (for his THIRD knitting project) is great! And he entertained the crazy punk knitters among us (Swatches? We don’t need no stinking swatches!) with all his swatching, swatch-felting, measuring, and pages of design notes for his bag. It will be the perfect size of course. But all the notes were kind of cute. These engineers. They so funny.
Several of us brought our knits of shame tonight. Beverly had her crazy fair isle vest. Lauren had an amazing fair isle sweater and an intarsia bag. I had my Pumpkin Patch Shawl and Devan Sweater. The sweater was all knotted up in the extra yarn. It was a bit mess. But the shawl was a pleasure to pick up and knit again. I might even finish that one soon. And I turned the heel on my second Jaywalker sock tonight. YAY!
Project Runway fans might enjoy parts one and two of an interview Out.com did with Tim Gunn. I had no idea he was a practicing sculptor AND worked at the Corcoran Gallery in DC before moving to Parsons!


Sounds like a fun SnB! Scout and I are plotting a Taos Wool Festival/Balloon Festival thing for October - and I think my visit will have to coincide with your very fun sounding SnB group.
Your Lenten projects are prettier than mine, lucky woman!
IT was fun last night.
