Yarn Over

Craft Night was at S's house. All four of us made it. And I learned a couple of new knitty things!

I am reading/using a knitting pattern.

Doing a "yarn over".

And increasing and decreasing stitches.

Go me!

I am using a simple online pattern for dishclothes, some odd, icky yarn to practice with and size 9 needles or so I think. Yep, size 9.

I'd like to make some as presents for Christmas. Keep your fingerscrossed for me!

Knitty Kitty was great deciphering the pattern for me and showing me the stitches I needed to do. She's a teacher (professor), it shows, such patience!

H. won't be able to make it next week, she goes on vacation with her family. But since DH is planning on attending the Red Sox game next Wednesday.... Wait should explain that- DH is taking the Downeaster train down with his cousin, her husband, and their son down to the game. They will be there most of the day. Well they won't be hopping back on the train home until 6pm, and where it's Craft Night, we usually start by about 5 or so. So I will have my two kids, and one of DH's cousin's daughter (she's not a baseball fan ;) ) and so I was thinking of hosting Craft Night here, at my house. With kids this time, since there's no other choice really. DH usually takes the kids out if I host, or keeps them busy while I am gone.

Sorry for the jibber posting. I am tired. Been a busy day!



And for all of the flossmom fans, there's a new exchange starting!!!! This time it's for a Bookmark.

Goodnight everybody!
