Patty humoring the photographer.

The roaring fire in the Reed's fireplace kept us all warm on a cold but sunny knitting Friday. Cathy as usual was the hostess with the, well, you know how it goes. She gives us all something to aspire to! Carol brought a yummy Hungarian-style poppy seed strudel (or was it streusel?) like her grandmother used to make. Cathy wowed us all with her finished throw for Maddie. See below for more photos. Kathleen is starting a hat, which you can also see below. The rest of us plodded along on our projects: Elizabeth's still embellishing the pig, Patty's working on her shrug, Cathy started Bennett's throw, Susan started a scarf, Mary's making her shopping bag, Priscilla's making headway on her scarf for Tom, Carol started a shrug for Meg, and Sue started a vest. So much knitting, so little time! So thanks Cathy, for a lovely morning. Next week we might be at Priscilla's, but it will depend on the condition of her ceiling -- stay tuned.
