Knitable
I forgot to mention that the little knitting group at Barnes and Noble on Friday night was fun. Besides Jami, Amy, and I, there were only three other knitters there. It turns out they only meet once a month. But it was nice to meet new people and talk about knitting. We actually ran into one of the women, Joan, during our book club meeting at Panera the next day. I worked on the kitty bed at the meeting, working several rows in the round. Jami had one of her fun fur scarves and Amy cast on for a cute poncho for Ainsley. Unfortunately, Amy has never knit in the round, or done much in the way of increasing, so she had to start over a few times. At one point, she lost the first four stitches that she cast on and I was sure I could add them in reverse. I swore it wasn't crazy talk because I could totally see how it would work in my head. I just couldn't make it happen with the needles. So now Amy thinks my new Indian name should be "Crazy Talker." I still think it's not crazy talk, but I'll have to find a more advanced knitter to find out for sure.
