Knit Knack-Arvada Knitters Night

Made it to the knit night with the Arvada knitters. The new store is fabulous! It reminds me in some ways of the Lamb Shoppe in Denver. Very cozy and comfortable. The owners are very nice and they had lots of cool stuff. (I really wanted to look but have an internal agreement with myself to finish Sheldon and the Kerry sweater before buying anything else!) The Debbie Bliss books that were passed around made my fingers twitchy to buy one but I was good! A few more meetings at the store will certainly make me cave at some point. :) (Not that it is a bad thing..)

I can't believe how much the group has grown! Patti and I used to go semi regularly when the group started and at most there were 5-6 people on a good night. Tonight there must have been about 12 people there! Whoa! I'm pretty excited to start frequenting the group again. Course it all depends when dh is on the road as well.

Here's a picture of Sheldon in progress: (He's naked.)



At the store, I worked on his shell. I have all the increases done. Now I have to start the decreases. It is turning out cute. I have his legs done but they haven't been stuffed and attached yet.

Here is the baby blanket I finished a couple weeks ago:



And after Sheldon is done, I'm back to this sweater (Kerry Cardigan):



Can barely see the cables and the honeycomb in the picture. I'm at the armhole splits and working on the back. I'll have to try and take a picture of it on a white background. Maybe it will come out better. Or further back. Oh well.

While I'm displaying pictures, here are a few more:

A sweater I did for Jake that no longer fits him (of course):




The philosopher's wool sleeve I started 2 years ago for dh:


So much knitting so little time!
