Last of the Summer KIPs

Hi everyone! I'm a little slow in posting about our last meeting, but we had a great time. The late summer evening was still warm enough to sit outside for a little alfresco knitting.

Angela was working on a to-die-for red, sparkly top from the recent Knitter's Magazine. Although the yarn (Tilli Tomas) is frustrating, she is committed to wearing her beautiful creation at an upcoming gala!

Rachel had a hot pink number going - she's working on Juliet from the girls of Zephyr Style. We were all jealous of the super-soft Malabrigo Rachel is knitting with...which hopefully made up for the sub-standard cupcake she got (sorry Rachel!) A few of us put Juliet on our project list as a result.

Speaking of Juliet, Jewell was also wearing a Juliet, but hers was a pattern from a recent Rowan pattern booklet. As always, she wears it well!

It was great to have Yasmeen joining us again! She was working on a beautiful shawl with a heathery brown yarn gifted to her by her mom.

She also enjoyed a wonderful dessert, hand-selected for her by Spencer of Letizia's. (not like I'm jealous or anything...)

Michelle was without her blanket project, because it has gotten too huge! Instead, she was working on a smaller project - a version of the Montego Bay Scarf from Interweave Knits, done up in a beautiful purple bamboo from Southwest Trading. Michelle says this is the perfect take-along project when she is riding (but not driving) in the car.

Meanwhile, Corinne says the perfect project for when you driving is a stockinette sock! (I hope she is joking! But I'm not sure...) Corinne was also working on a dog sweater with a fun assortment of yarns. As always, Corinne and I rhapsodized about the beauty of Lobster Pot Yarns.

So, a good time - complete with sweets - was had by all. Tomorrow is the first day of October, and this week is the first Thursday. So, see you at Letizia's on Thursday???
