Quebec City

the MKG went on a UFO weekend to Que city . wehad a marvelous time , got there friday P>M had supper then , sat in the lobby and chatted and knit. I had a great room mate. Sat we went a muesum to see the students knitting , very very nice, and then to the wool shop of course, where they have a lot of sock yarn ( a whole room of it ) so bought 2 balls for socks and 3 shawl pins, and ebony needles for socks.
then we went back to the hotel and went to one room , where we snacked and had wine, then off to dinner in a great restaurant , we were in a room by ourselves and had two waiters and soft piano music in the back ground. then back to hotel where sat in the lobby and knitted the nite away
sunday it rained so i just went to a gift store and did some xmas shopping, and then just sat in the lobby and knit again,
every one that passes looks at us like what knitting in the lobby . then back home sunday afternoon

knitting fun

I went to the knitting course by Lucy Neatby, on saturday and sunday, very ,very nice, really enjoyed it and learned a lot, only hope i remember it when i go to use it. the button hole course was wonderful, and she had beautiful things kniited up, the double sided blanket was so nice and all her colors are so nice.
She is a great teacher and has so many patience, she helps every one , she goes around the tables to every one . and her patterns are well written.
I mailed off my purse to my pal today, hope she likes it. and all the goodies in it.

hope
