Tammy's Sweater in Progress

     Tammy is a relatively new member of the Thursday Morning Knitters, but not in any way a new knitter. Here is Tammy's current project: a pretty striped sweater which is almost finished. Here is a close-up of the pattern:
 
    
      I love meeting with these knitters, and I have also come to love watching the Chehalis River as it flows close by. The big windows of Top Food's second floor give us, not only wonderful light to knit by, but  a lovely vantage point from which to view the river in all its many moods. It is very sad that in a town with 11 miles of waterfront within its city limits, Top Food's mezzanine area is the only place open to the public where people can watch the river from within four protective walls.
 
       October marks our anniversary month and we will celebrate our third birthday on October 18. On our birthday, we will celebrate by all of us buying our lunch downstairs, and eating together upstairs. We usually buy cupcakes for the group, too. I'm trying to think of additional ways we can thank Top Foods for providing a place for our knitting group, and other small groups as well, to meet. It is truly a wonderful facility and we feel very lucky to be able to meet there.
