We had another lovely afternoon with the moms and daughters in our Keepers group. We started the day off at 2:00 by singing the Keepers song. Liz lead a devotional, she talked about how thankful we should be with all the blessings God has given us. Since the jumpers are for the Aids babies in Africa it brought home how blessed we all are. Then Shonda gave another lesson on knitting and showed us how to finish off our jumpers.
The day was great for those of us that are completely new to knitting. I had tried for two weeks to remember and figure out how to knit... yesterday I think it finally sunk in. Since I was unable to figure it out the past fortnight, Addi had no chance.
So, yesterday was great for both of us. No one had finished their project yet and we all spent a lovely two hours figuring the basics out, working on the pattern and of course, pulling our projects apart when things went astray... to begin again.
Towards the end of the meeting all the girls were in the kitchen sipping hot chocolate and checking out pictures of themselves on our computer--- while the moms were all in the front room like little worker bees knitting away.
We have 4 weeks until our next meeting, due to school holidays. So hopefully, we will all use the time wisely to finish our projects and get the knitting thing down!
Shonda, one of the moms in our group is due to have a baby mid July. Addison and I made her up a chicken lasagna and some chocolate chip cookies for the freezer... so she will have a meal of ease once the new little one arrives. I thought it was a good chance to show
Until next time!
