May 'Knit in'

Perhaps it was the wet, drizzly day that brought 11 happy knitters to Ann's 'knit in' yesterday. I think it was the biggest 'knit in' yet! Besides the cold day, the room was filled with the warmth of friends chatting and helping each other out with knitting problems There were a lot of busy hands as shown in the pictures.

Photo 5; Here is one of the mini knitted beaded handbags by Ann. She has a wonderful collection of them hanging from her mantle piece.











Photo 6;Mona has just returned from Olds, where she attended a class on beaded Kumihimo. She was caught in a blizzard on the #22 Highway and as you see she is still cold! The scarf is attached to a hat: great idea!





Besides knitting beaded bags Ann had been busy in her kitchen and had made a couple of salads and a rhubarb square to go along with our brown bagged lunches. Thank you for your hospitality.
