Dec. 7 Recap
All caught up on previous recaps, here's a quickie from last night! Although we were only 3, Bea and E and V, we had a blast. Plaza Grill was packed, but we had our fave waiter Mike and the margaritas flowed. Bea is about 3/4ths done with her Stocking Cap, shown here. Eileen, barely visible in the second photo, worked on the lace scarf some more, and a Noro hat destined to be a Secret Santa gift. And Velma is plugging away at a seed-stitch scarf in Manos del Uruguay that will be donated to the Red Scarf Project in January.
BIG HOLIDAY ANNOUNCEMENT:
(Do I have your attention? Good.)
Next week, at the Dec. 14 Purl 'n Hurl gathering, we will be doing a CHRISTMAYULESTIVUSOLSTIKWANZUKKAH Yarn Gift Exchange. Whatever your personally preferred winter celebration (I *think* I covered 'em all, there), please join us at Plaza Grill in Arcata next Thursday between 6:30 and 9pm. Bring a wrapped gift of yarn (valued at $15-20, please; no acrylic white elephants). Cocktails start at 6:30, and at 7:00 we will draw numbers; at 7:15 we will do a round-robin style swap and see who goes home with what. Hope to see everyone there for a Purl 'n Hurl-style holiday party!!

Nov. 30 Recap
Our group was smaller this week (maybe the holidays are taking their toll?), but we had fun. Jenny modeled her almost-finished sweater in Noro. Eileen, who can't find the last skein of black alpaca to finish her mom's scarf, worked on a sock. Velma, who is MIA in the photo, continued her seed stitch scarf in Manos for the Red Scarf Project. Bea is making the Stocking Cap from Interweave Knits, and was modeling a sweater she made. Although there's no photodocumentation, Cheri was there, too, show=and-telling her Secret Santa project: she finished Christmas stockings for Tom and Susan, and is going to make one a tiny one for their wee fetus! And non-knitter Todd stopped by with Jo for a visit on their way to the KHUM holiday party.
