01.23.2006 :: A Sunday with Knitters!

Honestly, when I started blogging, I never even imagined myself in this kind of setting:

Look at all the knitters!
There were more on the other side of the room:

And more in the kitchen:

Really! Cate is probably drinking water! Honest!
Knitters as far as the eye can see! And although there are a couple that I wish I had spent more time with, I came away satisfied, fullfilled and just all around HAPPY AS A CLAM.
What kind of a saying is that anyway?
So? Shall we have a Claudia's Party in pictures?

ggreat pictures - get to see what people actually look like. The picture of Norma is a hoot - whose sock is that in the bag and what pattern I wonder.

We did have a ton of fun, didn't we? Can't we do it once a month or so?

Love the pictures. Except the one of me, of course.

Yeah, with that look on my face, I sure HOPE it wasn't water! I look like I'm saying "shurrr, butillhaveanotherlittleweedrinky--thanksh!"

Something like that. Lovely to see you, my dear. And I was saving the meatballs for my next trip to the buffet, but that next trip didn't happen until nearly dinnertime! I feel like I missed one of the highlights of the day. Next time.

Ohmygawsh, Terry's swatches! She brought them ALL? She is my hero! And so are you for getting them all together!

Posted by: julia fc on 01.24.2006 AT 01:19 PM

Lovely! Thank you for the vicarious party. Whose CIT swatches are those?

Posted by: Sylvia on 01.24.2006 AT 12:51 PM

Hooray, more pictures! I'm glad you took some sock pictures. I really wish we had done a group shot of all the feet in handknitted socks (though it would have been a real logistical challenge.) Next time, maybe?

Looks like a fabulous party!

I've got sky for you today. :)

You got me. I'll blog what I was photographing tomorrow.

Posted by: Laurie on 01.23.2006 AT 10:06 PM

Hi Sandy, Thanks for visiting and commenting! Seems we were at each others sites at the same time! Woo!I think that will be my first and last thrumm!

Posted by: Diane E. on 01.23.2006 AT 10:06 PM

Yeah, someone actually took pictures! Way to save the day Sandy. I have such poor posture in all two pictures that I have been in, probably why I have a heating pad attached to my back right now.
Always a pleasure to see you! Must do it again soon.

Posted by: Kate on 01.23.2006 AT 09:43 PM

What a wonderful group. You are so lucky to have many great grrls in one proximity. Thanks for sharing it with the rest of us;-)
xoxo

That looks like it was a total blast!! I'm glad you had such a great time. :)

Posted by: Samantha on 01.23.2006 AT 09:30 PM

Wow! Thanks for sharing the pictures with those of us who couldn't be there! It makes me feel like I was there, if only in knitter's spirit.

Posted by: sarah b. on 01.23.2006 AT 09:21 PM

Sandy, as always, a pleasure :). Love the photos!

Posted by: grumperina on 01.23.2006 AT 08:45 PM

Oh, it looks like it was such fun!

Posted by: Chris on 01.23.2006 AT 08:38 PM

And, I meant to say, have you noticed that Cate has a drink in her hand in every picture on every blog? I'm not saying, I'm just saying. ;-)

Posted by: Carole on 01.23.2006 AT 08:36 PM

I wish I'd gotten to talk to you more. I also didn't get to see Teresa's swatches in person! Thanks for taking great pictures.

Posted by: Lauren on 01.23.2006 AT 08:35 PM

Posted by: Norma on 01.23.2006 AT 08:25 PM
