Someone is in my knitting spot!
(Actually, if you count Lucy that would be two someones!)
A few weeks ago, Crazy Aunt Purl asked all the other knitbloggers to snap a picture of their knitting spot. I'm a little late, but here it is! As you can tell, I'm not in it, but that's okay because my sister is... AND she's knitting!
My sister is living with me during October and November while she does her pharmacy rotations here in southwest MO. She has actually been knitting longer than me, but I think it's fair to say that's I've been a *bit* more obsessive about it, and have more advanced skills.
Well, you would think so, anyway. She's currently working on some baby socks for a friend's new baby. I showed her some completed socks and she declared that she hates picking up stitches, so she wanted to try short rows. O-kay. We can try that. Never mind that I've only just learned. And what do you know, she picks it up just like that. She ended up ripping out the first baby sock because the foot was too short, but the heel pretty much looked perfect. This is only slightly ANNOYING when it took me about two years to figure it out. I guess she just had a WONDERFUL teacher, right?
So anyway, we've been having lots of fun squeezing in a little knitting time in the evenings after work. It's great to have a knitting buddy right at home.
(I also love this picture because it shows my dog's favorite activity - sitting very near or (preferably) right on top of yarn. She just likes to be in the middle of things!)

That is so great! I have warm fuzzies! :) Both of my sisters know how to knit, but they choose not to (maybe I can talk them into it again this winter...) and I do knit with my mom. It is great to have that knitting buddy right there!

Your doggie is cute! And it must be fun having your sister stay with you for a while.

Oh, what a great picture. I'm sure it's that you're a great teacher.

I think that is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen! Can I get her phone number? Does she cook as well as she knits?
