And so is Lew, who rose early this morning to load all our pictures!
As we promised, we'll first show off the fun we had knitting for the kids affected by Hurricane Katrina. We had a full table (and sofa) and lots of fun!

Even family members pitched in! Martha's daughter Glenda drove from Waldorf to join us, and she finished first. Here she proudly displays her knit pig:

And her other daughter Jennifer was second, displaying her bunnies:

We also had lots of finished objects on film. Our Snowman Hat class is filled, and you can see why:

While Susan stopped by with son Sean to proudly show off his Cashmerino Chunky sweater:

And here is a true "JEN'S PONCHO" from the Knit Stitch book, modeled by Jen, Martha's daughter! How beautiful is it in the Clara Barton colorway of Schaefer Yarns Esperanza???

And another Susan models her sweater knit by mom Judy, who sits behind her at the table:

While the first Susan (get it?) shows off the sweater she made herself from Esperanza:

Shy Laura displays her lengthwise scarf knit from TURMALIN, only doing so if we agreed not to photogragh her in her workout clothes:

And finally, this is why we have fallen in love with BLUE HERON Bulky Chenille. A picture IS worth a thousand words.

And a final note. Catch the December issue of NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC if you can! Knitting HAS gone global, and the article begins "Meet Lew Rose." How cool is that? Many thanks to Lynne, who wrote the article and provided the gorgeous yarns for the photo.
