Knit Nights

February's "Knit Night" was such fun!

Everyone brought yummy Valentine's Day treats to share.

Carolyn made everyone the cutest little Valentine's Day card, to give to their special someone.  They were the cutest polka-a-dot sweaters, and inside said "made with love by me for you".

It was a relaxing evening, with lots of laughter and eating.  We even did some knitting.

Jill just knit these darling little boot-toppers for her little girl.

Joan was wearing one of her past knitting projects.  You may remember my postings about it previously.  The pattern is called Cabled Embrace.  It was so inspiring, that I knit 2 of them myself.

Shara was knitting a ruffled scarf, Carolyn was finishing up a Backzip Baby Sweater, Joan & Jill were knitting felted slippers.

Becky was knitting a soft, ruffled baby blanket for one of her grandchildren, I was working on the "Steve" sweater (my newest design), and Kristen was starting the hat, which will match this little vest.  She is expecting her new "little man" in early March.

She just has the shoulder buttons left to add.  I was amazed at the argyle pattern, which was all knit in, rather than being added as duplicate stitch. 

I should have taken a picture of the inside.  It looked so nice and finished.   I can't wait to show you the matching hat, which has the same argyle pattern on it.  Kristen is becoming a true knitting expert.  

I can't wait until March, for the next "Knit Night".  Thank you to everyone who has been so supportive in attending.  It has been a well-needed social event for me.  

This is the "Steve" sweater, so far.  It is coming along . . .

The design includes a "chain-like" cable, that is a bit complicated.

I love the way the cable looks, but I'm baffled about how I will write instructions for executing it.

I've taken some step-by-step photos of knitting it, but I'm still working on putting it into words.

If some of you experts out there have some suggestions for me, they would be greatly appreciated!  Just put your suggestions in the comments box.

Valentine's Day is going to be great for me.  I just received these beautiful flowers at work, from my "one-and-only".  My world is right-side up, even if I can't seem to get this picture that way.  Thanks Steve, for being my everything!

Happy Valentine's Day, and may you always love your "knitting".  Happy Knitting . . . . . .
