Ikea Knit Nights

Tonight, as with every other first and third Monday of the month, I went to Knit Night. I picked up my friend and her baby and we arrived at Ikea in Coquitlam at 6pm. We bought some supper - a good value for the money - and chatted while we ate. Then we started knitting.

Others showed up along the way, there were 7 of us tonight, all at varying skill levels from rank beginner to skillful crafter. We knit and instructed and chatted. It was really nice to be able to ask questions and get answers from others who knew what to do or who might do things a different way from how we would.

We discussed patterns and caressed the yarn and explained that all knitting is just knit and purl. It was a really comfortable experience that I cherish.
