WWKIP Day
Posted by mtmom on June 22, 2008
I hosted an event for World Wide Knit in Public Day here in Flagstaff last Saturday, 14 June, 2008. We were a small group. 
But we had fun in the shade in Wheeler Park downtown. One gal even brought her Shih Tzu, Romeo. 
Esther (in blue) came all the way from Showlow and worked on a prayer shawl. Marilyn from Tuscon (in white) came into town from her Munds Park summer home and worked on a Baby Surprise Jacket in Trekking sock yarn. My elder daughter, on the bench next to Esther, continued her 3-Color Spiral Cap in Lion Brand Glitterspun. And I worked on 2 sock projects: Nancy Bush’s “Madder Ribbed Socks” in navy for my mother, and a sideways braided cuff for my kilt hose sock-top sampler. Here’s a current photo of that bit: 
If you look closely, you may notice a slight difference in puffiness between the first few crossings and the latter few. I’m trying to decide which I prefer. The two “sizes” are produced by working different numbers of short rows in the braided segments. Keeping in mind that this is only the cuff part of a full length knee-high sock (potentially), which texture do *you* prefer?
Coming Soon: more lace swatches for Master Knitter level 2.

I so enjoyed meeting your family and your daughters are very special little gals but it’s cause they have special parents. Thanks for letting me be part of your day. I copied the pics and love the one of Romeo altho he’s been groomed since then and is thinner and cuter.
Be Blessed
Esther
