World Wide Knit In Public Day

This past weekend I participated in World Wide Knit In Public Day. It was a warm day, but it felt at least 10 degrees cooler in the shade. I got to meet Ann & Jenn & Bridgett

I also got quite a bit of knitting done. I finished the basic body on two different ponchos for my kids & got a couple inches of stockinette done on a sweater that I'm knitting in the round.

It was good to get completely away from everything else for a while.

    Yay! I can leave comments!

    It was really nice to meet you! I've got a class on Norweigan Mittens at Stitches in August, so I'm really glad you showed me how to hold yarn in my left hand. Now I just have to practice.

    Nice to meet you, ditto that! Always good to meet another "Continental" knitter.

    Norwegian mittens are in some ways similar to how socks are knit, so the class should be a breeze for you, Jenn. Here's a tip -- for knitting two colors Continental style, the primary color is wrapped on the index finger & the secondary color is wrapped on the middle finger. That keeps the two colors seperate but both easily accessible.
