Apple brandy or triple sec?

That was the question posed to me as I arrived at my MIL's stitching group Christmas party yesterday.  Wow! I thought.  Now this was the way to start a fiber group!  Only 11am too!  (I chose the apple brandy, just a splash to go along with the hot apple cider.)

Such lovely ladies with lovely stitched ornaments and projects.  I'll just share a couple pics I took of some knitted items.

This is a felted bag that one lady made with scraps of Noro.  It is the Kalahari bag pattern and based on a mitered square  idea.  She is going to line it and put leather straps on it, and then donate it to her grandkid's school auction.

These are fingerless mittens that someone bought in Connecticut so her friends could reverse construct it.  They look like a square of k2p2 ribbing in bulky yarn and then crazy yarn (have you seen those balls?  this is something to do with them!), sewn up the side with a thumbhole left.  Then it looks like they sewed some of that sari ribbon yarn around the wrist and cut it.


I posted this with my new blogger app on my phone!  Whee!
