Friday night we went to A Mano Yarn Centerand for the next installment of Bad Girl Knit Night. Share Ross displayed her samples from the book and had a little hands on demo of the techniques of deconstruction she used in the book.
You caught me reaching for a maple covered Crueler from the pink box of doughnuts .... I didn't eat the fancy finger foods or the wine. I'm the designated driver
Nice variety of people there that night. Some new to us and a few of old friends.
What a treat to knit with the author, share her inspirations and not just be a spectator.

The obligatory photo with the author. I like the cheesy pictures.
Always a wonderful time at A Mano. I did by a skein of purple Manos for the never ending mitered rug but we were good besides the book.
I volunteered to help coach a little league team last month when Mrs. Twisted found out about a team that was a little short handed at times from a co-worker. Well, I was told the head coach was going to be out of town with his son this last weekend and I would get a chance to be in the dug out again since my kids grew out of the recreational leagues.
Arrived early and warmed up the starting pitcher with a little catch.
A little pre-game meeting... Going over the signs and having fun.
I missed being in the coaches box a little bit. It was more fun that I thought. Cheering them on and seeing the look on their smiling faces as they rounded 1st base after a hit.
This may not seem like much to most but I loved warming up the pitcher while the catcher was putting on his gear and it reminded me of all the games I did the same thing while my Son and Daughter were pitching not may years ago. Oh yes I was hurting on Sunday morning. Age + lots of squatting makes you hurt the next day.
A bitter sweet end to a great day. The kids had fun and so did I.
Lovely post (knitting and "parenting"). Funny, though, I focused on the achy knees! Sat, while getting ready for my dd's big presentation day, I discovered my beaded scarf was shedding beads. So I quickly donned my reading glasses and grabbed a teeny needle. I laid the scarf on a contrasting color pillow on my bed, kneeling beside it (like bedtime prayers!). 30 minutes later, no more shedding and MUCHO pain in my knees. I keep forgetting I'm almost 50 and too sedentary for my own good!
ReplyDeleteBad Girls Knit nights rule! There are always new people there and of course, some we've met before and its always a good time.
ReplyDeleteI only wish I could have gotten a nice close up photo of your face hon, you were beaming as much as those happy little boys. I'm glad my happy boy got to play :)
You looked at home on the baseball field. Great pictures.
ReplyDeleteAs always, the knitting looks like a lot of fun. That yarn shop does some really fun classes.
Have a good week.
