I spent the opening ceremonies of the Olympic Games at the Knitting Nest. They are doing a KAL for the Color Affection Shawl for the Ravellenic Games. There was a nice potluck dinner with TONS of delicious food. I brought the drinks, so no pics of that. Otherwise, I'd totally be toting my baking prowess. ;o) I got to meet some people from around the neighborhood. I have heard from many of the knitters around town that there are three main LYS in Austin proper, and so I'm trying to get myself acquainted with them all. :o)
My boyfriend won a doorprize. He won a beautiful skein of Socks that Rock Mediumweight in the colorway: Fire on the Mountain. Oh, and a pattern too! My made-one-garter-stitch-scarf-ever boyfriend. The pattern has some cables on it. He'd better get to learning how to purl and cable fast!! ;o)
I did not cast on my Ravellenic Games project tonight because I couldn't print my pattern. So, I worked on a coaster. I'm using various fingering weight yarns in various colors. Mine aren't quite as adorable as the designer's, but I still quite like them. I'll get pics up when I have more done up. Planning on casting on tomorrow for my Ravellenic project. Can't wait!!
