Julie dyed the yarn with kool aid which turned out really colorful.
Noelle made the scarf and used the trim on a purse for "the Challenge;" both turned out beautiful. 
Liz made the cute hats above.
It was nice to see each other again. The evening was lively as we caught up on holiday events and knitting projects, cut circles from paper for Linda’s art class, learned how to play backgammon, and looked through the new 2008 knitting calendar. Vicki showed us a cool T‑shirt she received for Christmas and Louise suggested having shirts made; she will ask her daughter to design a logo for our class. Three new ladies from the beginning knit class joined our extension; welcome Trish, Donna, and Andrea.
Linda went over the backgammon pattern, especially the part on wrapping since it prevents large holes in the project. She says to ignore the words “P3tog tbl” (purl 3 together through back loop) at the end of the P wrap definition. Also, K wrap and K2 wraps mean the same thing, so does P wrap and P2 wraps. Note when wrapping, the second picked up stitch must be placed completely over the first picked up stitch. And, the diamonds alternate colors on each side and across from each other. If you do not want to use the pattern for backgammon, it also makes into a bag or purse; I think it can be used as a table runner too.
