Today was a slightly cold cloudy day in Southern California. It's suppose to rain but I don't see it yet. I went to knitting class yesterday and had a frustrating time with my self starting another sock again. I must not be tracking very well .I was starting to knit a sock inside out at the cuff and then I was using finger weight instead of worsted. Maybe I have too much going on in my head. Athena my teacher noticed it right away and so I am back to square one again.I just need to focus focus focus. LOl.

The colors of  Jan's rug are much more vibrant. My camera didn't pick them up like I wish it had.Maybe because it was a cloudy day.

Today was rug hooking and as I was getting stuff together to take I had this large orange kitty laying on some of my wool's in a large plastic container. Morris seemed so happy I hated to disturb him so instead of taking my rug hooking supplies I took a crazy wool  quilt I have been working on since the age of the dinosaurs.
I am so glad I went to our group.I was amazed at  the beautiful primitive rug Jan had made. Jan saw the rug in an antique rug book from the library years ago and saw the original 1865 rug that was in a Early American life magazine in someones home.The rug in the magazine was a shirred rug.The colors were beautiful in her  rug and I think an outstanding primitive hooked rug.

Pam another talented lady is trying to play catch up on her quilting projects and finished a quilt for a family member.Janice is working on a stocking and the rest of us were busy checking out the wool's.

                                                  Jan spun flax for this purse and knitted it!
