We had a new knitter join our midst, Claudia. She knit as a child and it came back to her really quickly! She started a garter stitch baby blanket.
Mary started a pair of socks on circulars in one of my favorite Koigu colouration's. It's things like this that make my stash grow. It looked so pretty knitted up.
Robin mentioned how she enjoyed the youtube video demonstration of Continental Knitting. (To see the post, click on the "techniques" category.) Claudia is from Peru and we talked a bit about how some people from South America knit with the yarn running across their back to achieve their tension. I tried to find an example of this on the web, and couldn't. If anyone has a link, please share it. Knit wise, Robin is onto the garter border of her "forever" baby blanket and happily considering her next project. She also found a garter stitch she started way back when, so she'll resume that as her "mindless knit".
Mary was really making us laugh, telling us about The View and the fight Rosie O'Donnell had on live TV. Now I learned that Whoopi Goldberg is hosting The View. Time to "Tivo".
