stitch sf style, 08

first stitch of the year was had this weekend, and it was one of the better sf sessions. one person couldn't make it due to a nasty cold, but the rest were healthy, happy, and ready to create. we had an expert hooker (crochet), a newbie knitter who learned that night, and and two knitters (me included in the two).

here we are, deep in craft mode:

chris (knitter), melinda (hooker), and greg (knitter)

rundown of projects: chris was making a loose windy necklace of sorts, melinda was crocheting fingerless bike gloves (in a kickass fuschia!), i finished a blue mini-caplet with some help from melinda's hook skills (photo soon), and greg was just figuring it all out. he started with circular needles, and i ended up loaning some regular ones so he could start knitting without the confusion of the circle.

the cool part was the exchange of teachers and learners... each of us taught someone else how to do something (even greg, the first-timer knitter showed melinda a thing or two), and all of us were inspired by each other's work. everyone brought food, and as you can see, we couldn't leave the table, we were so committed to craft!
