Last Wednesday I went to the knitting meetup at the Second Cup on Monkland. There were some new faces and some old, and I have to confess I only knit about 3 rows, because I made the mistake of bringing Bernie’s cabled scarf and I kept messing up the cables and tinking back. Veronik was very kind and offered to show me some knitting machine tricks so I could get going on Yafit’s Glam Coat.

Friday we had dinner with Julie and Rich then came back here for a very long poker tournament. Yannick was out first, then Julie. I was very close, but at 3:00am Rich finally kicked my butt.

Saturday I went to Veronik’s. Wow did I learn a lot! Thank you so much, Veronik, for showing me everything that you did. You were right, some of it was easy to execute, but I needed to be shown it first to understand. When I got home Yannick asked me if he could put away the knitting machine box- no way, not now that I’ve figured it all out. Mona came by too and we spent the afternoon with coffee, knitting and chat. I had a great time.

Sunday was (ugh) clean the house day, then dinner at my parents’. Too scatterbrained to knit.

Tonight I went to Curves and am typing this as I wait for my dinner to cook. Yannick has to go out later, so I just might get some cables knocked out.
