Pattern: Marled Mania by Stephen West

I love these colors together! At first glance, I thought "chainmail." You must have an off-the-shoulder chainmail sweater!

I belong to three informal knitting/craft groups at the moment, lol. One is monthly, one biweekly, and one weekly. I'm also meeting up with a knitting friend whenever we can at Barnes & Noble and local coffee shops. I used to knit asking, but I'm finding comfort in the camaraderie.

TOPICAL knitting fact of the day...
Prisoners of war in Nazi camps were put to work knitting socks for officers. They intentionally would do additional decreases in the heels, so that the socks would ALWAYS rub and give the officers blisters. They would also make sure that one of the socks had loose ribbing so the officers would spend all day having their sock fall off in their boot.
A spy called Alexis Casadagli, took up needlework and almost all of his work has
"Fuck Hitler" in morse code.

Today I went to Stitch & Flix, where a local theater showed Dirty Dancing to a crowd of 100ish knitters, and it was FABULOUS. ๐Ÿงถ
