Knitting Club!

Three of my best friends and I have started a knitting club!

Our first meeting was last night at my house. Two of my friends already knew how to knit. One had been knitting since 2nd grade and was knitting a very complicated blanket, while the other had been knitting since 5th and was making up her own pattern for a blanket! She is going to knit a bunch of squares and sew them together. My third friend learned in just about 15 minutes last night, and is also going to make lots of squares and sew them together for a blanket! I am making a hat.

We are making baby blankets and hats to give to the Infant Crisis center. We'll be donating them around Christmas, since that's when they said they need it most. The hat I am making is using the pattern for a premie hat from "The Joy of Knitting". We're all using acrylic, since that's best when it's around lots of babies, so that they can just throw it in the wash and be done!

It was tons of fun having my best friends over and knitting together!
