I was looking forward to Sew Wot Tuesday, as I was unable to attend the previous get-together. But first I had to wrap up a couple of birthday gifts to take, both Mary and Helen had recently celebrated their birthdays.
For the birthday girls
There was a full house at Carol's home, it was so nice that everyone could attend. Sadly these days as we are getting older, medical appointments and issues seem to pop up regularly. But we all made it, so that was great. It was such fun watching both Mary and Helen open their gifts, I'm sure we got just as much pleasure seeing it happen as the birthday girls did opening their parcels.
Socks certainly featured in show and tell, they were all laid out for a photo opportunity. Some completed, and some just needed stitching up the side seam, another pair on the needles, plus a pair displayed on feet! Winter certainly is sock knitting time, and Helen had also knitted a couple of wooly hats.
Cozy and warm for winter
Carol had completed her knitting commission from Heather to knit some garments for Heather's upcoming twin great-grandbabies. So pretty.

And Carol had another lot of baby donations to show, before they are whisked away to the hospital.

In fact, I think Carol qualifies for a Gold Star as she had yet another finish to show us. She had just completed this pretty embroidered wall hanging. I love seeing embroidered blocks used in quilts.

All of us were industrially knitting even more socks, except for Jude who was busy with her crochet hook. She was working on this lovely blanket, so pretty in these shades.

Then it was morning tea time, always the highlight of our get-togethers, we always look forward to this. I know we don't really need such a beautiful spread each time, but as we are known as The Eat-alots, we certainly enjoy it, and appreciate the work that goes into it. Thanks to Carol for a lovely morning hosting the Sew Wots.
