WWKIP 2009!

I went somewhere where there were other knitters! I sat and knitted while other knitters knitted! Okay I don't get to do that here...

Finally got up to Bakersfield to meet up w/the once a month Saturday gathering normally at DoubleTree. It was the Kings-Tulare-Kern group of Ravelry and Suzanne did a lovely job organizing the outing including personalized nametags!

She also brought this community blanket-everyone and anyone can knit on it and as you can see 4 people knit on it at the same time-pretty cool.... It will be donated once its completed.... There are more pics of the gathering at the group's Flickr page

Trip to the beach....

BF & I decided to go to the beach on Sunday... He went into the water, I only dipped my footsies (54 degrees is too gosh darn cold!). Actually I am quite happy just to sit and watch the waves....


Timmy about to get ready to Boogie Board....

Wind Surfing is quite popular... fun to watch...

Not so exciting update...

Free vacation became a laid off notice but that didn't last long. So I've been back at work since mid-April.... So back to that routine.... And less knitting time.... But did get some stuffs done...

Finished one pair of socks.... and are being modeled very nicely by Timothy who wore them to work the very next day and made sure to show them off to my co-worker and point out what a talented co-worker she has.... Yes this is why he gets knitted socks...

Did finish the first jaywalker sock-used up the whole little skein-yarn is too fun not too....


And started these socks-from last year's Spring Fling sock club...


Baby project for this gal started up again now that I have the yarn...but no posting pics of that yet

Not much else been going on.... Torrance couple weekends ago for Armed Forces Day (working wknd). Memorial wknd was pretty quiet well 'cept Sat since the BF decided to a last minute trip down the hill but it was a fun day....
Right now Dad is visiting so we shall visit family in the LA area and hopefully find me a small SUV I can afford....
Hmmmm.... not sure what else there is....
