What's new at Stitch and Bitch

I'm always amazed at my knitters. They are a determined bunch always wanting to learn more and more. Every time I think I have taught every one I know how to knit and purl Someone drops by our table saying "I'd love to learn can I sit a while and try" One evening we were 19 women just sitting and knitting. I love how this keeps growing.

A first time knitter "Giselle" has started with a scarf. She is from France and has a love of the dramatic look. This scarf is flecked with silver sparkles throughout but, my camera just couldn't pick it up. When she is done I'm sure she'll be very pleased. It has just enough glitter to be glamorous.

Next show and tell from "Sue/Cecile" There is a whole story behind her name but, I won't go into it right now. This is her first pair of socks...........she is 88 years young and has been hanging with us since last November. I can't tell you how much we enjoy her weekly visits to our table.


Sharlene the sock queen has a new love...........cowls. This is one of several that she has knit in a blink of an eye.

It really is as soft as it looks. The pattern was super simple and although she chose to do it twisted it can be done in 1 continuous circle. I checked on the net and found the pattern HERE
Let me know if you give it a try................said the hobbit

I admit people who knot and I can ogle at all their beautiful work. My daughter is one of them! What fun to have a group with which to visit.

It is fun Connie, wish you were close enough to sit and stitch with us. I hope to see some of your daughters projects on your blog.

Oh I wish I lived near, as I want to be one of your Knitters.

Wouldn't that be great Shaheen? Maybe one of these days our paths will cross. Everything is possible.
