A Good Meeting

We had a productive meeting. Three of the older ladies are expert knitters. They will be teaching the rest of us little tricks from time to time I'm sure. They already showed us how to begin each row when using a straight needle. It's a way I wasn't aware of before. It gives the edge of the piece a nice finish. One of the older woman took my yarn and rolled it into a ball so that it was easier to use. The yarn comes out the center of the ball. My yarn was coming from the outer side of the skein. There are 8 of us in the group. One of the woman didn't come tonight because she was ill. I told the leader of the group that I would bring a refreshment next time because she provided one at the last meeting when she baked an apple cobbler. She baked chocolate chip cookies for tonight. I can't promise that I'll bake something homemade, but I will provide something. The pastor stopped by to say "hello". One of the older woman told him that she wanted to teach him how to knit. He said, "Oh, yeah." and walked away. It's fun to meet with a group and knit. There wasn't too much talking while knitting. It's necessary for me to stop knitting before I speak so that I don't make any mistakes. I'm a quiet knitter.
