Knitting and Poker

I've been wanting to learn how to knit for a long time, and my good friend Olivia learned a couple of years ago. I think her first project was a baby blanket for K. It was beautiful, and quite the undertaking for a first project, but it turned out great! Now I am finally getting around to learning myself. Our friend Tiffany wanted to get some pointers as well so we all went over to Katie and Jared's house for a knitting/poker party. We planned a poker night for the guys so they wouldn't be bored while we were doing our own thing. :)

Here we are learning to knit!

Jared has a fancy poker table so the guys were playing in style!

K and Emery played hard together. Oddly enough, their favorite "toy" was the stairs. There is a little set of three or four stairs between Katie's living room and kitchen and they stayed on them almost all night. They also took a tumble or two down them (with K landing on top of Emery at one point and then crying saying, "I hurt my booty!"), but no major damage was done. :)

And I finally got a picture of K with Katie and Hudson! For some reason I never manage to grab any pictures of them together whenever we see them. Hudson is getting so big! I can't believe he is already 6 months old. He has the biggest blue eyes I have ever seen! What a cutie!

The finished product! I knitted (is that right?) a washcloth! I definitely made a few mistakes, but I think it turned out pretty good for my first time! Thanks for teaching us Liv! I need to try out the hat pattern next!

P.S. On a totally side note: it seems weird that I won't put our names on the blog but I will put everyone else's. Liv, Tiff, and Katie (and anyone else I happen to blog about) do you mind if I put your names up or would you rather I didn't? Either way is totally fine with me, just let me know. Thanks.
