Een heel speciale verrassing was dat Poezemadam haar goede vriendin R had meegebracht - zij is dus onze eerste Brugse breister die zonder Ravelry naar Naaldzang is gekomen. R probeerde aan een trui in boordsteek te werken, maar het lukte gewoon niet, omdat er teveel te zien was. Wat deden de andere breiers en breisters? Welke boeken hadden ze mee? Over welke projekten konden ze vertellen? Het was gewoon te interessant!
Jan werkte dapper maar stilletjes aan een ajour-sjaal voor zijn vrouw. Hier heb ik altijd veel respect voor, ajour op een breidnamiddag is gewoon om fouten vragen, tenzij je, zoals Jan, heel geconcentreerd kan werken. Chapeau!
Poezemadam had twee sjaals mee, één in ajour waar ze niet aan durfde werken en één voor haar kleinkind. Ze vertelde ook van haar recente reis naar New York, waar ze in de metro een breiende dame was tegengekomen. Wat bleek - deze was ook lid van Ravelry!
Yarnlot (Bedankt voor de foto's!) en Dominique kwamen tegelijkertijd toe, ze hadden allbei de trein vanuit Gent genomen. Terwijl Dominque aan Klets!kousen voor een goed doel werkte en zo zelfs de aandacht van een medewerkste van Hema trok, toonde Yarnlot haar chileense klaversjaal, die ze gehaakt had.
Ikzelf zat aan een Jacques-Cousteau-muts te werken - heel veel boordsteek in het donkergroen. Ik denk dat ik een beetje minder praatte dan normaal, omdat ik die muts nog deze week wou afwerken.
En waar zat onze Ameria? Helaas thuis, wegens logistieke problemen :(
Nadat de breinamiddag ten einde was gelopen, moest ik nog iets kopen in Brugge en heb op een onverwachte plaats vier strengen paarse wol uit Nepal op de kop getikt. Ik moet er nog meer van hebben, denk ik.
The session on November 4th started with a bit of bad news - Ameria would not join us due to logistical problems.
What did she miss?
R, a good friend of Poezemadam joined us for the first time, and she'll be back - with a vengeance. R is a very energetic lady, and she was enthralled by this knitting activity. Not that she was able to knit a lot, there were too many interesting books to peruse, finished objects to admire and generally, just too many stories to tell. She enjoyed herself, that much was clear.
Poezemadam herself had just returned from a visit to New York, where she had met a knitter on the subway, who - big surprise! - was also a member of Ravelry. Poezemadam had a lace scarf with her, but did not dare work on it, so she knitted a scarf for her grandchild instead.
Jan however, did not show any lace-fear and worked on a scarf for his wife. He was very concentrated and therefore rather silent, but it was great to see his determination.
Yarnlot, who we have to thank for this session's fotos, showed us books about lace knitting and her own Chilean clover scarf which she had finished recently. She had arrived together with Dominique, who produced a small series of mobile phone socks for an activity of the Belgian Youth Council. Dominique also showed us her stunning, bright red, hand-dyed shawl.
Yours truly was working on a Jacques-Cousteau-hat, a project I still wanted to finish this week (And I've done it!) so I did not chat as much as I usually do.
On the way home I still bought purple yarn ^^
