Knitting Niche

After trying my hand at cakes I decided to do something different. I glanced upon the church bulletin and as I went through it I read about Sr. Eileen volunteering her time to teach knitting at the church for those interested. I was keen on learning something new. Having been at home most of my time other than my volunteer agencies I was looking forward to meeting a few more wonderful people and learning something new.
                               The date chosen for our first meeting was Wednesday,February 3rd 2010 at 2 pm. I walked in and saw so many new faces. I was introduced to them- Terry, Lucy, Mary, Bridget, Susan S, Joanne and not to forget Sr.Eileen. We also had Susan B, Kecia and a few others who joined in later. I enjoyed their company and the little stories they shared every week along with new knitted things they made.
                                   Sr.Eileen showed us a few things she had made and they were so beautiful. I was touched by her passion for new born life, her dedication to the cause close to her heart against abortion. The little things she knitted for the new born were precious and so perfect. I wished that one day I would able to make something close to her beautifully knitted baby cap,booties and socks. She patiently taught me how to knit and even more patiently removed the wrong stitches. She was indeed an excellent guide and I am glad to say I did pick up a little bit of knitting from her. I made this set of a baby blanket with a cross stitch teddy bear on it,booties,bib and cap.

                               We were all glad to learn so much from Sr.Eileen and me in my own little way wanted to thank her for her patience and time. I couldnt think of anything more appropriate..

Since all were not able to make it we have Sr.Eileen,Mary, Terry and Susan in the snap all well versed with knitting and myself as the novice.

                       I am now looking forward to the knitting niche to commence once again this Fall
