Have I mentioned that I still go to knitting circle? June 16, 2006
The tuesday night knitting circle at the Mel-O-Dee continues on… If you are in El Cerrito at 8 pm, stop by. Tuesday we talked about a lot of interesting things:
- A new knitter! Debbie did some successful recruiting at the Berkeley Knit in Public event.
- The cute little garter stitch kitty. It looks so good in leftover sock yarn
- we didn’t really talk about it, but I noticed that one of my fellow knitting circle members has her eye on a really cute pattern. Top down all the way, i say!
- Abby’s sock knitting tragedy which I feel partially responsible for… She has bounced back though. I saw her knitting a pair of baby socks just the other day.
Things i should have talked about
- Tepache- Apparently this is a fermented drink made from pineapple.. And you can make it yourself. At least the Crochet Dude did . Has anyone tried this? Is it good? This reminds of the Kombucha Tea that I read about on Flawed Maude.
- A fellow knitter reports that Emmet Otter is in the Smithsonian. I believe that I am one of the only people in the world that does not like Emmet and his poor little muppet family. I have seen too much of their feet that don’t really touch the ground or support any of their weight (=freaky).
forgive me now–I cant help myslef…
I dont have any personal feelings about mr. otter but I do end up listening to songs from that movie a lot as The Dead Hensons play “Mamma’s bbq” and “Riverbottom Nightmare Band”.
Emmett Otter is my favorite Christmas movie of all time!!!!
Our new knitter is currently making the green gables sweater (she just ran out of yarn when she visited us). I want to make the sweater so badly!
