And we knit and we shopped and that’s about it. An excellent girls’ weekend; the two students, Mari, my friend Lynn and me. We also watched the Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants – the perfect chick flick for a girls’ weekend.
Shopping included an outfit for Chuck’s Christmas Party – hand picked by Mar. I wasn’t intending to buy one, fancy outfits are right up there with bathing suits, bras and shoes. My most hated activities. So, how did I end up with a bag from TJ Max containing a daughter approved fur collared silk sweater and black pants, tighter than I usually wear? Very unlike me, but I think OK.
Brought back memories of the time Lynn and I went south for our annual November girls’ weekend and I tried on so many horrendous outfits I ended up with a blister on my thigh from changing in and out of my jeans one too many times.
The knitting: lots thereof, starting with the herringbone rib scarf in Manos, adding a few more stripes to the leftover throw and lots of progress on the mystery Christmas gift. I hit a yarn shop and exercised self control. Not one penny spent there. Here’s the scarf, front and back:
Lynn finished her first scarf and Betty made progress on her first project. It, too, is a gift, so I can’t disclose what it is. A great time was had by all.
