I have a wonderful group of friends that get together as often as possible to share our love of knitting, good food and wine. And of course we talk- or more correctly, we bitch. Sometimes we talk so much, little knitting gets done.
Our motley crew consists of Tracy, Sophie, Chris (Our token guy, who is definitely not a Dick. The Dick in our group's name is derived from a men's knitting group called "Dicks with Sticks".), and Christine.
Occasionally we are joined by our dear friend Liz.
Let me tell you a bit about these wonderful people:
Tracy has been knitting the longest out of all of us. She is incredibly busy, working and caring for her two beautiful boys, but would never hesitate in helping a friend in need. Tracy has just finished a great sweater for her partner that has been on the needles for a very long time. Well done!
Sophie is the most prolific knitter in our group. She shares my love of hand dyed yarn. We ran to the Sanguine Gryphon booth at Rhinebeck this year. We hardly had to wait in line at all. Not like the two hours that other people waited. Sophie is out of knitting action right know due to an injury.
Chris is our token guy. Our group's inaugural meeting was held at his apartment. Chris is working on his first sweater. Slowly but surely! Unfortunately, Chris doesn't have muscle-memory for knitting. He often needs to be reminded on how to purl.
Christine is relatively new to knitting. She loves to knit items for her beautiful son. She makes the most amazing rice paper wraps. Like I said, we eat a lot of great food.
These people are great, and we have a lot of fun together. They are true friends.
