Here we are with the finished product.
Sweetpea loves her new blankie.
The most difficult part of this project was not being able to include Debbie when we put it all together at Margaret's.

Wedding bells rang
We've done a bit of secret knitting in the last 2 years. One of the projects was a wedding afghan for Debbie. I don't know how we pulled that one off, but somehow we did.
Here we are with the finished product.

Cinco de Mayo Tricoteria
Tricoter is the Spanish word for knit. Debbie had us over to her wonderful cottage in the woods on cinco de mayo. The theme was 'Show and Tell.'
Taa daa
Debbie showed off her pre-felted clogs.
I think they're a little big for you Robin!
And just to prove that I finished the project that I started on Monday night in time for the Friday baby shower....Sue is almost finished with her first sweater!
Margaret's husband made her some needles for those extra special BIG projects. Here are Mary and Lori giving them a whirl.

Knit Theory Beginnings
This is a blog space for the members of Chico State's Knit Theory group. We are all associated with the Department of Mathematics and Statistics either through our own or a spouse's employment, past and present. Some of teach, some support, and we are friends who love to knit. My name is Pam and I'm the administrator of this blog and original organizer of Knit Theory. My hope is that this will be a group blog and the members will post their own projects and stories. I will add photos and reports of the monthly meetings.
The group began in January 2004 when I mentioned to Sue, Debbie and Margaret that I had recently taught myself to knit and had heard about something called Stitch 'n Bitch. I found out the Sue, Deb and Margaret are all knitters too and suggested we get together to knit sometime. Margaret said, "If you organize it, we will come." The first meeting was at Rapti's and we had about 7 knitters show up. It was very peaceful and Zen-like, no bitching involved and we shared our childhood knitting and crocheting stories. That all changed once Katy joined. Katy is the life of the knitting party and now at some of our gatherings we can on occasion be quite raucous, but we never 'drink and derive.'
Today there are 18 people on our email list and we usually have about 10 or 12 at our gatherings. We started out knitting for charity and then a friend outside of the group announced the upcoming arrival of a girl baby. This began a series of friendship afghans which I will chronicle in upcoming posts. We've done afghans for one baby, a wedding and 2 retirements.
