WWKIP Day

I had a blast knitting with my peeps, but, subsequently, didn't get nearly enough done this weekend. (And, instead of doing it now or going to bed, what am I doing? Okay... this is my last post before bed.)

Due to threat of rain, we parked ourselves in the Pit at the U of M... instead of pitting our wills against nature in the park. However, I got to help a student relax before her exam, and we sent away a new knitter with her very first swatch, a pair of needles, and a ball of yarn!
Brand New Knitter (and Swatchy)
I taught her the knitted cast on, knitting, and a cast off... and told her how to contact me for more. ;) She was definitely a fast learner.

Some quick photos of everyone:

I say... it was rather fun freaking out the muggles. ;)

Oooo... and I won the grand prize in the door prize draw! I won a *gorgeous* Fiber Trends kit. (I apparently haven't taken a photo yet, and I'm not going to now... I need to go to bed.) It's for the Maid Marian Vest, which I just finished making (yeah, no photos blogged yet), so I think I'll make a different pattern of my own design, but probably still a vest. The kit was donated by Mona from Wolseley Wardrobe. Thanks Mona!!!!
