October 22, 2006Postcard for Marnie
Dear Marnie, We just wanted to let you know that we miss you! We did much knitting and spinning in your honor, from 2 p.m. to 12 a.m. (!!!) yesterday. Much sugar, and some healthful foods, were also consumed on your behalf. Here are some of the highlights, top to bottom, left to right: Andrea shows off her recently completed Icarus shawl; MH chills with MJ's gnome; Nonnahs gracefully models one of my Christmas berets; Francesca shows everyone how it's really done on a spindle; Lori and MJ try to sort out Lori's handspun for Andean plying; Nonnahs and Andrea discuss the finer points of Icaurs' lace border; Lori enjoys one of Nonnahs' homemade cupcakes with buttercream frosting; MH checks under the gnome's beard to see what's on offer! Not pictured are Kat (who I only photographed holding knitting for publication!) and myself. We also took a few group shots, but those are on my Contax, so we have to wait a few days to get the film developed. We can't wait to see you! Get here soon! Love, Us Posted by Julia at October 22, 2006 12:08 PMIn main | marnie | spinning | talented friends

Thanks for hosting us again...but then you do have the best view and deck! Posted by: Kat at October 22, 2006 08:14 PM:'o( I wish I had been there. I have nothing so crafty to report since all my crafty goodness is of the same species as Kat's. I would have loved the crafty girly time. Miss you all so much. Ah, the golden light of Julia's porch... such a wonderful afternoon (and evening...) thank you so much for hosting!
