A rainy afternoon at The Point

Mama V and I didn’t let a little freezing rain stop us from going to The Point yesterday afternoon. Master K rode along in Mama V’s ergo. It was a cozy afternoon at our favorite knitting café. We chose yarn for our next projects, sipped rooibos tea and enjoyed a cupcake. Master K kept busy perusing the pattern books and watching the yarn being wound.

I even tried a new cupcake flavor. Well, I should divulge that they were out of the sweet magnolia, so I changed it up a bit and tried cherry. Mama A should come along with us one of these afternoons because she would enjoy their delicious vegan cupcakes.

Mama V chose three gorgeous colors in Misti Alpaca to knit a scarf for herself. She is going to make a bold design move and knit vertical stripes which I think will look really lovely. We also picked out all of the must-haves for one’s knitting bag. As I mentioned the “Mama N endorsed” essentials, the women working at The Point jumped in to say how sad they were to see her leave. We all gave a group sigh, missing our dear friend.

My next project is going to be a lace-pattern scarf for my Mom for her birthday in mid-March. I chose what I hope will be a simple beginner lace pattern from Ravelry. But first I must finish Miss L’s dress, which is coming along nicely. I hope to finish it this weekend so she can wear it when we visit my 88-year old great auntie in California next week.

Speaking of which, I am off to start the back bodice of the dress...
