Another Wednesday Knit Night

Most Wednesday nights I go to Woodland Studio in Stoughton, WI to knit with a group of ladies. I'm not much of a talker there but have a great time listening to the other ladies talk about various things from books, politics, to restaurants.

While there I worked on my afghan square. We are making squares that will be assembled into an afghan and then raffled off for the Historic Downtown Stoughton fundraiser. Can't find the book right now but believe it is an Interweave Press book.

One of the ladies, Laurel, showed me her project book (not what she called it but can't think right now). Anyway it holds the patterns in her queue (what a dorky looking word!) and its way cool - will have to see if I can find one as it protects the patterns better than my clipboard method.

Getting Started

Howdy!

In an effort to keep me on track with my knitting, I'm starting a list for Christmas 2008. Will add things as I go along and keep ya'll (don't know who I'm talking to but you are known as ya'll now) as to status of projects. My goal is to have over 50% completed by Christmas. And as I can't call in sick now until December 25 (thought for sure the one physician I work for who knits as well would understand and sign off on a note), better get cracking (or knitting)
