knitting night...

look what my fab gf, becky, gave me last night! i have it right next to my computer screen here at the office so i can get a little cheer-up anytime i look at it!

becky gave it to me last evening at wednesday night knitting club (we don't really call it that. but maybe we need to come up with a catchy acronym of some sort to describe the fun we have!) . she also gifted me with a thimble lapel pin. i'm sporting it right now, ladies!

we also welcomed a new knitty member, leslie/lesley (i don't know how to properly spell her name, so i've put both possible spellings here!). leslie knit a very long, very chic bookmark or choker...she hasn't decided what it is quite yet. i hope becky and i didn't frighten her too much...we can be a bit overwhelming.

here's a pic of leslie/ley sporting a very fun cookie monster tee. hey, who took this picture? shakes the clown? no, that would be me.

i brought along my defective cupcake (2nd in a series of two) to show off. below is a pic of the cupcake. i cropped out my face, etc. from the pic because it seemed like an awful lot of heidi and not nearly enough cupcake.



and last but not least, here's a fun photo of ever patient and talented knitter, becky, sporting her new scarf. it is a lovely rhubarb color and the pattern is from the book holiday knits. wonderful, simply wonderful ruffly scarf, beck!
