Wednesday & Thursday were spent in the company of 2 beautiful, wise, wonderful (and just wee bit wacky) women:
This was the second of our knitterly get togethers and we showing off what we had done, helping each other through difficulties and questions, along with knitting and making up.
Aunt Marilyn worked on her children's sweaters and hats and Log Cabin Afghan:

Note the lovely ruffles on sweater and hat #1 and the fun motorcycle on sweater #4 above. Last photo is the beginning of her Moderne Log Cabin.
Linda was hard at work on sewing up her afghan blocks that were her very first attempt at knitting, along with a hat:
Aunt Marilyn showed Linda how to crochet the blocks together and she caught on quickly - I just cannot crochet.
And I showed off my Minimalist Cardigan and Bee Socks and one of the Bubble Wrap Socks:
Aunt Marilyn kindly gave me some red yarn she had in stash, so I started a dragon scarf to send to an organization that gifts red scarves on Valentine's Day to young people who have aged out of foster care. Follow that with the start of a sock cuff done in Linen Stitch (for my sister for Christmas - not a surprise) and the cuff of 2 socks. (I think I see a bit of a lack of faithfulness to one project for myself).
Aunt Marilyn snuck this pillow in my suitcase after I admired it. She is a gem!
