My weekend was good in a bunch of ways – most of them even fun. I started on a new pattern of Kristi’s that I’m test knitting for her. We had a romantic dinner out. We went to see The Queen and did a little shopping. All of that was fun.
The one thing that we did that was not so fun (because it’s more of an obligation, I suppose) was attend the annual meeting of the New England Brigade. And it’s not that it’s a bad time it’s just a long day and some of it is rather boring. Sadly, I was reelected as Clerk. Why is this sad, you ask? Because the clerk has to take minutes. It’s hard to take minutes and knit at the same time. There was one thing about the meeting that was really fun. I bumped into a fellow knit blogger.
I had Dale snap this photo of both of us wearing our Fetching mitts. I’ll send a skein of sock yarn to the first person who identifies the other blogger.
ETA: And that person is Jessalu who correctly guessed that the hands wearing the other set of mitts belong to Betty. Thanks for playing along everyone!
Manise Said,
Is it Maggie Luongo? Or Martha of Martita Rampage? My first thought was Sharon, but she’s blogless (sadly).
Karen Said,
Fetching twins powers activate! I’m not sure who your twin is though.
Ann Said,
No idea about the other blogger, but I too have experienced the ubiquitousness of the Fetching Mitt — in the grocery store. Not a blogger, but a mother of a knitter.
Kathy Said,
Who?!? We saw “The Queen” last weekend — I thought it was terrific!
Elizabeth Said,
I’m guessing Jesse of JessaLu knits.
margene Said,
Martha, Jessalu, Marcy, Sandy, Beth jeeeezzz I guess I don’t really know.
Kim Said,
I have no clue who the other blogger is, but sounds like you had a fun weekend!!
ann Said,
no guess, but didn’t you love The Queen?!
dale Said,
…I know, I know!
maryse Said,
i’m guessing martha.
britt Said,
I don’t know who the person is but it’s cool that you both had the same mitts!
Robin Said,
I can’t wait to go see “The Queen”! So you liked it?!?!
hillary Said,
No clue who the other blogger is but i love the mitts. Are those Kristi’s?
Chris Said,
Hmm…… Concateknit??
Norma Said,
Kellee? No clue, really, but that’s a great photo.
Lizzy B Said,
I have no idea who the mystery twin is, but it’s a wonderful photo!
How fun!
JessaLu Said,
My guess is Betty…of Elizabetty fame ;o)
Kathy Said,
Judy? Cindy?
Rachel Said,
I have no idea who the other blogger is, but it’s so cool that you were both wearing the same mitts and have a picture to go along with it!
Beth S. Said,
The one job that you can’t do while knitting! And a voice recorder wouldn’t even help that much, unless you could easily identify all the different voices. Ugh.
Martha Said,
I would rather be president of an organization than take its minutes. Seriously. It’s less work. Clerking is hard.
Lucia Said,
Too late to the party, as always, but great photo! I gotta knit me some mitts.
Cookie Said,
Dale is so cute!
I’m glad it was a mostly good weekend.
amanda Said,
too funny! i guess fetching is this season’s clapotis…blink and you might miss one!
Emily Said,
Yay for JessaLu. Fetching is everywhere!
~Kristie Said,
Love your fetchings! It’s the perfect quick knit!
Laura Said,
How fun to have a Fetching friend! heh
Rachel Said,
I love recognizing hand-knit patterns on others! My dear friend from high school recently started her own photography studio, and she was showing me one of her first portrait shoots and the only thing I could fixate on was the fact that the little boy was wearing the star sweater from the cover of Adorable Knits for Tots.
And of course meeting fellow knitters — not just their projects — is fun too.
Birdsong Said,
What a nice surprise to meet up with another knit blogger and share the love; you do need to bow out of that Clerk position though, as knitting makes meetings so much more interesting. Start grooming them now…
Liz (the crazed weasel) Said,
What a fun picture!
Sadly, extricating one’s self from something like a clerkship is…well, not so easy. One must often just quit and stick to the quit-ness for around six months.
