16 years ago 6 of us took a Top-Down Sweater class. The yarn we used had part alpaca in it and I chose a gray/black color. The class was 6 weeks long. We did not finish our project so we decided to stay together and finish it. We met at the different houses until it was completed.
We wanted to stay in touch so we created the SSK knitting group. (Sometimes Sunday Knitters) We took on the February Lady Sweater as our next group project. We then moved to meeting once a month, we were all still working and it gave us more time to get our "homework" done when doing a group project.
We have had people come and go from the group but today 3 of the original 6 still remain. We meet once a month still on Sunday and often just sit and visit and catch up. We have been through a lot together. I love this group because we actually care about each other. When it is our birthday month the birthday person picks a restaurant and we all go to lunch. We often do field trips and other things. Lately not much knitting has been getting done when we meet but that is ok cos we get to catch up and just hang out for a couple of hours.
Here's to at least 16 more.
