Madrona and a Movie

I had such a good time at Madrona! I really should have signed up for more than 1 class. I got there ealry Saturday morning with enough time to sit in the lobby and knit/people watch. What a great group of people. Everywhere I looked there were inspiring knitters wearing inspiring knits.

I was alittle overwhelmed at the beginning of my Fair Ilse class, taught by Janine. I was the only one who had no experience knitting with 2 colors on 2 hands. We talked alot about color selection, swatching and technique. By the end of the class, I walked out with enough yarn to try making a hat. I started last night and have finished a couple of rows in the pattern. I am really excited about learning a new technique.

I ran into Meg, Mara, Sarah and Rebecca from Purly Girls and we a great lunch! Thanks girls.

Yes, I did some damage in The Marketplace but not too much. 1 Skein each of Socks That Rock in Farmhouse and Nodding Violet and 2 skeins of Sock Candy in Velvet Moon. I also picked up a skein of Jameson's for the Fair Isle hat.

Pics to come. I was just too tired this morning to take them.

Hubby and I saw The Departed yesterday. I love Martin Scorsese! Riddle me this though- Why would you bring a 3 yo to that movie? Most common sensical people would not but there was a women who walked in about 45 minuted before the movie ended with a toddler. She sat next to a guy, her husband (?), and watched the end of the movie with the daughter on her lap. This is Scorsese not Disney! Blood, bullets, and the F-Word flying everywhere and not once did she get up and leave. That irritated me beyond belief. Lovely parenting style!
