I never write about my weekly Knit Night. I wonder why? Is it because I don’t want you all to know about the fun? Or the deep conversations? Or the projects? Hmm….guess I’m a selfish one! So here’s the real deal!

FUN: Basically we are a happy bunch…a night never goes by without a good laugh or two. Sadly, the humor never translates. I’ll come home and try to tell my DH about something that was SOOO funny at KN…and he never gets the joke! Sad!

Several of us barely escapes our homes where we’ve left crying children and sad-faced hubbies! We are giddy to be out of the house. Alone. Others remember those days and are sympathetic. The young ones listen to our stories and worry. lol

DEEP CONVERSATIONS: Anything from knitting help to birth order to the meaning of life to death and grief to family life to Faith. And everything in between.  We even talk about knitting sometimes! lol
PROJECTS: Just last night there were several scarves, hats, socks, a sweater, bath mitt, Christmas ornaments and a bit of crocheting going on. I might not remember someone’s name…but I always remember what they are knitting! LOL

Anyway, I love this group! I love the diversity. I love the variety of knitting/crocheting levels. I love that everyone is willing to invest themselves in our group and allow us to get to know them! I’m so blessed!

Theresa asked in the comments why no photos of all these projects…well, it’s because I give them away! LOL  One of the reasons I have so many was due to all those hats – for charity and all my boys!  I’ll try to be better – I promise!

Oh, and Theresa – I registered for the level 1 of TKGA’s master program – gonna do it too?

My favorite podcast is asking how many projects we’ve completed in 2006. Well, I was sure surprised when I added mine up!

Felted purses – 4

Socks – baby 2
Socks – adult 3

Baby Sweaters – 3

Shawl – 2

Scarves – 3

Hats – 10

Christmas Stockings – 2

GRAND TOTAL: 29!!

Wow – I’m surprised! My favorite were probably my socks which I call the Monet Socks due to the colors.
So, 2007 – what will I knit! Well, I’m planning some lace…some socks…finish the sweater that is currently making me crazy…and I’m about 90% sure I’m going to do TKGA’s Master Knitter Program. Looking forward to 2007!! 🙂

It’s begun! The days are flying by! In addition to frantic shopping and wrapping – here’s what we’ve been up to the past few days:

Thursday night, the school where DH teaches and J1 & J3 attend had their Christmas celebration. J1 sang with his class – but unfortunately he was completely hidden from my view and my camera! 🙁 His brother, however, was right in front of me! He was a donkey in the Kindergarten nativity:

After this performance I got this great shot of all three of my guys – love this picture!

FRIDAY J1 and J3’s classes combined to make gingerbread houses – here are their masterpieces:
