Coffee with the girlz!

Last Thuersday I went downtown after work to meet the girls for coffee!The meeting was set by Maria from her blog and of course I couldn't miss it! Mania, a good friend was there too, with whom we wanted for months to meet, but had not managed to do it till then. She brought for all of us memoirs from her granddoughter's christening, hanmade of course by her:

Aren't they lovely?

Panagiota was there too, aka Olivetreegirl and I was very happy to mmet her in person!Very sweet!I hope we can meet again! Maria had brought her knitting and we admired her work!
After coffee we went to the shops looking for yarn and I finally found the fine cotton yarn for crocheting I was looking for!I bought 20 different colors!

and the very next day I started playing with it!These are my two first creations:

And finally I managed to take photos from a crochet halter top I finished long ago:

Athens knit & crochet group meeting

Last Tuesday I went to Bliss to the first meeting of the group “Athens knit and crochet” from Ravelry! For those who do not know Ravelry, is a big online world community of knitters! The group “Athens knit and crochet” was founded by Leanda who had the wonderful idea to organize a meeting, to get to know us better over a cup of coffee and to knit and share ideas about our favorite hobby! It was a splendid afternoon, I was very happy to meet known faces and also other members of the team! We had a great time and we decided make it a monthly meeting! You can read more on Leanda’s blog!

Last weekend I went to my hometown to vote and visit my family! I had the opportunity to search my mother’s piles of magazines and to confiscate 2-3 old issues of “Verena”! This is the jacket I found and want to knit:
