Tuesday Night Knitters play Santa

***

Last night was the official hand-off of all of the Tuesday Night Knitters' knitted Christmas gifts for the Barnes & Noble employees that graciously put up with us all year long. I think the final count of hats, scarves and fingerless gloves was something like 25, and Issy & Jane kindly wrapped them, and then put them in two giant Santa bags to give to the B&N manager who will be distributing them to the full-timers. Here she is receiving our good will:


Before Issy & Jane wrapped the gifts, Jane was good enough to photograph almost everything that we knitted up and post them on her blog here and here. I think she got a picture of everything except one last-minute hat that Amy whipped up and brought last night. It was incredibly cute, but, as usual, I fell down on the job and didn't get a picture of it. (Someone needs to fire me!) I'm hoping that maybe in upcoming weeks we'll see various B&N employees wearing knitted items. That would give us all a little thrill, I think.

Here's a few more pictures of last night's knit night:

Here's Jo knitting an i-cord edging on a basket she'll be felting:

Love that hot pink!

She gave us all a little tuturial on how to do that technique, which she'd just learned from Linda. Very cool! Jo should have a finished felted basket to share at an upcoming TNK meeting -- I'm looking forward to seeing it.

Here's a beautiful sock Patsy finished -- she's currently working on the second:

That's Holly Spring Homespun yarn

And me? I'm still knitting hats. Hats, hats, hats. Ho-hum. They don't make for exciting blog fodder, but I sure love knitting them. Speaking of which, it's time to get back to it. Later!
