Knit Night

Thursday is knit night. It has been knit night for over a year and everyone that knows me, knows to not plan anything on Thursday nights cuz I'm busy. Sacred female bonding going on. With that said, yesterday's knit night was special. DH and Karolyn came over for a bit so everyone could meet my baby!

They have been hearing about her for quite some time now and Kristine wanted to see pictures. Well I decided I could do better. I'm so glad they came. After they met everone, I took Karolyn and DH to the library and Karolyn loved it. All she said the entire time was "bu" "bu" "bu." This is Karolyn talk for book. The child was in heaven. Can you tell she loves her bed time story?

I made significant progress on the FI. A good 6 rounds! I'll give you a pic later.

Now for the alpaca. What a dream to knit with. Here I am knitting along and my hands are actually getting softer! I couln't figure it out until I remembered that this stuff is not processed at all. I do not know if alpaca contains natural oils but it would not suprise me if it did. I felt like I was knitting with lotion.

As far as decision making is concerned. I decided on a stole. I'm using the pattern on the book cover of Barbara Walker's 4th Treasury of Knitted Patterns.
