It is not all knitting, but cross-stitching, as Jill can attest to…

Albert Einstein made an appearance at the Rathmines’ knitting group this past Tuesday…

Wednesday’s Knit Night in the City Centre at the Lord Edward Pub…
This knitter’s mother gave her size 19 mm needles

and one hour later…

and this knitter just learned how to knit…lace weight/mohair yarn and garter stitch

every knitter loves to show and tell…

an adaptation of the everlasting bagstopper

using up the yarn stash to design her unique felted bag…

stitching, drinking, eating, talking, stitching, drinking, and going out for a quick ciggie…how does one concentrate on this pattern at knit night???

Shelves of yarn…
