Let's Knit Magazine - Your knitting, your style

hi all
another knitting day for all of us.
i am slogging away on some USA civil war socks and hope to finnish the 1st one this week.
if anyone is intrested or local i am off to New Milton community center for 7.30 pm to give my history of knitting, 1800- now, lecture tonight (tues). it is the womens probus group.
well back to the sock.

That sounds interesting Joyce...wish I was in your area.

Hi Joyce, how did your talk go last night, hope you had a good turnout.

great fun. i was told that there would be about 20 ladies, but over 50 in one little room.
much laughing when the knitted swimming costume came out of the bag and some great stories about how they stretch when wet.
off next Tues. to west surrey weavers, spinners and dyers guild for the same thing.
have a friend doing a knitwear degree and we have just finished talking about her final degree project and i have hand knitted a little coat to her design in Rowan little big wool. she is then going to put machine knitted finishes to it. the collection is just starting to look great.
now i am going to finish some socks that have been on the go for months, i need the needles for something else.
joyce

it sounds like it was a great night Joyce, wish i could have been there!

Theres nothing that i know of like the things you are talking about in my area, oh I am missing so much in my life.
