Social Knitworking Nugget 013: Kitten!
Posted by springviolet in Mini Vidcasts on 26 July 2010
In this installment of Social Knitworking Nuggets:
The weekend before last, we had our monthly Church of the Blankie meet-up. Our host happened to be fostering a two-week-old kitten just for that weekend, while the kitten’s official foster family was away on vacation. Yeah, we’re as crazy about kittens as we are dogs. Needless to say, we were terribly distracted every time we went into the bathroom. Kitten in the bathtub!
Here we have Connie playing with her.
The Dog Days of Summer – this time with photos
Posted by springviolet in Site News on 25 July 2010
As Jenn said below, I have photos of two dogs that visited us during one of our knit in public days.
First we have Higgins. He’s a 4-month-old bug (boxer/pug mix). This guy was all charm and was silly over dog cookies.

Our other visitor was Blue. Also 4-months-old.

And just so there are a couple knitting photos…
I had finished these socks before our Knit in Public Day meet-up, however I brought them to show off and photograph. They are the Braided Gem Socks from Knitting Socks from Handpainted Yarn.

The Dog Days of Summer
It’s been a hot summer which leaves our collective writing skills leaving something to be desired. We knit in public, twice this year, but didn’t take much photographic evidence because it was pushing 90 and we were too busy trying to not felt our yarn while we worked with it. I know Joanna has some dog pictures from our adventure, and we are still working on compiling our LYS list and and planning some movie days.
I’ve been working on starting and completing 10 projects this year and I’m doing quite well (I’m on 8, 9 if you count the breastfeeding shawl I made for a friend, 6 if you only count items I’m making for myself). I’m about to start the Bonyard Shawl with an angora merino blend called Jolie. One of the projects was Citrus which is in this year’s house color – blue. I have a few photos on my Ravelry page. Well, off to start season 2 of 24!
Happy Knitting everyone!
