Holiday Gifts Week 11

Bea and Candi's lovely cornucopia
Jolly stockings by Barbara, Bea, and Pat
Beaded pouch by Sharon
The moppet slipper in progress by Linda P

As Snoopy wrote, “It was a dark and stormy night…” but the rain did not hinder many of us from coming to knit. Just in time for Christmas, stockings are starting to appear. Linda L. brought us a copy of the updated phone list and more delicious mandarins. We received the improved checkerboard and pouch patterns, and Linda P. showed us one of the vest patterns we might want to order ahead of time.

Regarding the star stocking pattern, the yarn is not stated. Use either chunky yarn or two strands of worsted weight.

Extension
The extension has been approved for January 10 and 17. There is no registration and no fee. Wow! However, we must show up. If the attendance is low for these two classes, no extensions will be granted in the future. Attendance is very important. By the way, do not stay home because you did not knit a thing during the week.

Last Class
Next week is our party. Bring either an appetizer or dessert, plus your own drink. Linda will furnish the paper products.

Other things to bring are all your projects for group photos, scrap yarn to share for the moppet slippers, a fringe maker, and your trim challenge. In case you do not finish the trim challenge by next week, there will be another judging on January 17.

Reminder

The Placer High School sales event is this Saturday. Info is on last week’s blog.

Take good care. Happy knitting!
