Hot Pick

We are in the middle of projects or just beginning a new one. This week's highlight is learning to use double point needles and working a SSK (slip slip knit).

Discovered that one of the library Hot Picks includes "Knit Two," the sequel to the "Friday Night Knitting Club" both by Kate Jacobs. I just checked it out and will return it one week.

Great Day for Knitting

It was very cold today, but five faithful knitters came together anyway. This is perfect weather for sitting inside, reading, and knitting. They discovered an unexpected surprise when they left though: snow!
