The Chalk Dust Knitters Go on another Field Trip

Here are some more of my no face pictures. I'm just funny that way.
We had a great time at stix-n-stitches as always. Lots of yarn, lots of talk of future projects and where we were going to eat!

My daughter Pepper was busy looking for just the right yarn for a scarf. Here she is showing Karen her newest scarf design.


Jackie and Pat are checking out the merchandise.


Marie,Steph, Karen and Pat full of questions.


Here is my daughter Zel wanting to take all the yarn home.


Jackie and Lynn checking out the sock yarn.



Here is Pat's Flame Hat for her grandson well on it's way.



Here is Pat showing off her hat.


We went to Brooklyn Pizza.
We started with a healthy salad and then it all went wrong from there!



Everyone placed their orders and some even shared a meal.
Then I had the great idea to order a pizza as well.
Many of my Chalk Dust friends started looking at me like I was nuts! Way too much food they said!!


It looks to me like maybe it wasn't too much food after all.


We were even able to that food home!


The next Feild Trip will be to Patricia's Yarns in Hoboken. I can't wait to go and get some Rowan yarn!

I am so grateful to know these awesome women and to share knitting,crochet and life with them.

ChalkDust Knitters Meeting

As always we had a great time but I left a little early because I was tired and it was my older daughters 28th birthday.
We shared patterns and setup future dates. I can't wait for our next field trip to Stix-n-Stitches on October 11th.
This is the Teddy Bear I'm making for Mother Bear Project the groups charity project.

This time we met at Panera Bread.
We welcomed three members that never came to a meeting.
There was lots of knitting,crocheting,sharing and eating.



Here is the knitting newbie with her teacher who was my student.
It's the circle of knitting.



I was very nervous because we met in a new place and had some new members. I just wanted everyone to have a good time. I think they did!

The Chalk Dust Knitters Go on another Field Trip

This was the last The Chalk Dust Knitters meeting we had.

It can't get any better, knitting, good friends and coffee. I have both my daughters there as well, what more can I ask. I'm the luckiest women in the world.

Today we have another meeting/field trip to stix-n-stitches and I'm sure we will add to our stash.
I hope to get Flat Feet and start a pair of socks.
