Grant Street Woolworks Laugh-In - Oops I mean the Hook-In

Thursday brought another fun day out at Grant Street Woolworks for the weekly hook-in. I drove to Kathy's and then we did our usual - lunch and then yard sales on the way to the hook-in. I didn't find any treasures but Kathy found a few. Can't wait to see what she does with them. When we got their - Linda was busy binding her mitten. She started hooking it last time I was out and now it's done - It's awesome - so cool - I do hope she decides to do a class on it. Perfect for fall (there is a picture further down of the finished mitten). She then moved on to some pants and then her new project - a fine-cut shaded project she's taken up and is doing a great job.

Pat and Zip were there and Linda when we got there. They had a party for Pat's retirement. I must say, Pat is enjoying her time - she's busy as a bee with baking bread, refinishing furniture and hooking and things - check out her blog - she's always up to something and she's certainly smiling when she's doing it!

Zip left for a while and then came back to get Pat - Pat's new stand came in that day and it's cool - It's just like mine - but I have the 2007 version - mine doesn't have the wheels or the handle to roll it around - Love how she just put her hooking bag on it and away she goes.

You just never know what someone will do or say during the day here. Kathy is laughing at or with someone!

Here's Linda's finished mitten - the colors are perfect - nice and rich.

On and off thru-out the day Kathy was saying how she wasn't in the mood to hook this pillow - however looks what she does when she's not in the mood! I love that pillow - she did a great job on it. Hey I offered her top dollar of $10 for it and then Linda outbid me at $12 - geez - cut throat I tell you! Hahaha

Being that Kathy now works for Linda, they have taken to adding daily exercise to their day . Not sure what "Thursday's Work-Out" was and why Kathy needed her reading glasses? Sometimes it's best not to ask! LOL

In Linda's shop - amidst all the wool and things - she has these wonderful gourds- some are lights - there are pumpkins, scarecrows, bears, and more. I "had to have" Velma and had to bring her home with me. So I put her on my dining room shelf away from the kitten paws.

Linda and Kathy also gave me a snippets dish - which i forgot to take a picture of - but will - Love the fabrics - red ticking (one of my favorites) and a small check - Thanks Ladies!

Came home in the wee hours of the morning again and then of course slept in- It was a great day with lots of fun. I forgot to get a pic of Sherry who showed up later and I was working on and finished another rug for my friend - another kit - i still have to bind it and then will take a pic.

Have a great weekend!
