Tonight we celebrated one whole year of Knitting in Public in Chicago with cake and other goodies at Letizia's. Three cheers for Bonne Marie who played hostess to our feast and made sure that there were door prizes to share. She even made sure that I took home some cheesecake for John. Cheesecake for dinner in our house? You bet!
I also got to finish off and bind off the second back/front piece for Audrey. I would have gotten started on the sleeve as well, except I forgot to bring the smaller needles that I needed to cast onto. Ah well, that just gave me more time to chat and catch up as our fun little group isn't so little any more.
And for anyone else who is thinking about knitting Fitzgerald, Pixie is holding a knitalong. I obviously won't be starting until my yarn arrives, but I'll definitely be joining her.
Gina suggested a "Man A-long" -- and I'd love to start one, but there is already one of these going on. Check out the goings on at knit-o-rama for more info.
Thanks for the heads up on the Man-Along. I too will be knitting Fitzgerald for my husband--although, he is giving me the same difficulties regarding colors as yours is. The hunt continues for the Perfectly Unobtrusive Yet Highly Stylish Color Combination.
Hey, maybe I could do 2 "a-longs" at the same time! Excellent!
Although, Fitzgerald definitely strikes me as a nice "manly, yes, but I wear it, too" sweater. Hee hee
By the way, I've been meaning to ask, what is your blocking process? I really like seeing your items on the board & was wondering what kind of board you use & do you lay them down wet/damp/dry & then spritz?
Going a little mad with the Noro, are we?
