Friday the 13th
Today is Friday the 13th, but what a wonderful day it has been. We had a great meeting last night, with a full house. There were 18 ladies in attendance and of the 18, seven were new guests who had attended the 2012 Knitapalooza.
A great big thanks goes out to Patti Stapleton for a fun, informative and educational program. We all learned to knit with silk hankies. The whole group jumped in with all 4s and tackled this technique with gusto.
Our next meeting is going to be on May 10 and it will be at Mimi's Cafe in Grapevine (right infront of Target). We'll meet at 6:30 with dinner at 7:00 p.m. It will be fun evening with a bunch of surprises, so I hope to see everyone there.
