Yesterday was our local knitting group's first time at a new coffee shop -- there were ten of us, and it went really well! Two new young women joined us, and there were a few gals who hadn't come since before Christmas, so it was nice to see everyone. Here's Greta working on her Baby Surprise Sweater...
... and I've finished my first socks of 2012 ...
... and I finally finished the Stripe Study shawl...
It's lovely merino, to lovely effect, but it was the most tedious project ever -- miles and miles of garter stitch. NOT my idea of fun!

Today I'm doing errands ... I have some shelving to pick up here in Fulford and I'll be dropping it off at the Seniors housing in Ganges, then I'm meeting someone to talk about another knitting commission, then I have another meeting to go to -- and in between, I'll be picking 'old' Mike up at the hospital where he's having some tests this morning and driving him back to his boat, doing a bit of grocery shopping, and checking out the second-hand store. And there's lovely blue sky and sunshine out there, so I'm looking forward to it all!
