We were back from our hiatus in the kiddie arts room. One walked into the HPAC wondering who are the people in our room this time? Then one looked closely and said, oh sorry, it's the SSNB. N was working on the baby surprise sweater and M was working on her vintage baby sweater. She promises a prompt completion. V was working on a chevron open cardigan/sweater. N finished a tank top and it looked lovely. S worked on a purse and her hat. M worked on the shoji shawl which was likened to cobwebs (as opposed to a shoji screen which it's supposed to resemble). F continued to plug away on her shrug. L worked on a skirt. K worked on the forest canopy shawl.
We discussed how some knitters would like someone to magically appear and knit up their ufos. There was brief contemplation about passing the knit objects around the room to get them finished. With a lace piece, you could probably block out the differences in gauge anyway.
Then we got into some very Chicago topics. Sports and traffic. Everyone complained about the sports traffic. We take greats pains to avoid it due to football games and baseball games. Before and after games the drunken hordes are released to the public which is just not safe or endearing. Some of us chipped in for the stitch n pitch event hoping that we could get seats together. Whether we become a drunken horde is yet to be determined.
L had some competition at her seventies party. Some people wore audacious afros and gold eyelashes. Nobody had the goldfish platforms. It was questioned whether the goldfish platforms really existed or if that was some thing from the movies. N said, "If you were a player, you had the goldfish platforms." Or she said something to that effect.
Until the next digest.
