A Little Contest
My weekend was good in a bunch of ways - most of them even fun. I started on a new pattern of Kristi's that I'm test knitting for her. We had a romantic dinner out. We went to see The Queen and did a little shopping. All of that was fun.
The one thing that we did that was not so fun (because it's more of an obligation, I suppose) was attend the annual meeting of the New England Brigade. And it's not that it's a bad time it's just a long day and some of it is rather boring. Sadly, I was reelected as Clerk. Why is this sad, you ask? Because the clerk has to take minutes. It's hard to take minutes and knit at the same time. There was one thing about the meeting that was really fun. I bumped into a fellow knit blogger.
I had Dale snap this photo of both of us wearing our Fetching mitts. I'll send a skein of sock yarn to the first person who identifies the other blogger.
ETA: And that person is Jessalu who correctly guessed that the hands wearing the other set of mitts belong to Betty. Thanks for playing along everyone!

Is it Maggie Luongo? Or Martha of Martita Rampage? My first thought was Sharon, but she's blogless (sadly).

Fetching twins powers activate! I'm not sure who your twin is though.

No idea about the other blogger, but I too have experienced the ubiquitousness of the Fetching Mitt -- in the grocery store. Not a blogger, but a mother of a knitter.

Who?!? We saw "The Queen" last weekend -- I thought it was terrific!

I'm guessing Jesse of JessaLu knits.

Posted by: Kim at January 29, 2007 8:05 AM

Posted by: ann at January 29, 2007 8:24 AM
...I know, I know!

i'm guessing martha.

I don't know who the person is but it's cool that you both had the same mitts!

I can't wait to go see "The Queen"! So you liked it?!?!

No clue who the other blogger is but i love the mitts. Are those Kristi's?

Hmm...... Concateknit??

Kellee? No clue, really, but that's a great photo.

I have no idea who the mystery twin is, but it's a wonderful photo! :)
How fun!
Posted by: Lizzy B at January 29, 2007 10:10 AM
My guess is Betty...of Elizabetty fame ;o)
Posted by: JessaLu at January 29, 2007 10:22 AM
Judy? Cindy?
Posted by: Kathy at January 29, 2007 10:27 AM
I have no idea who the other blogger is, but it's so cool that you were both wearing the same mitts and have a picture to go along with it!

The one job that you can't do while knitting! And a voice recorder wouldn't even help that much, unless you could easily identify all the different voices. Ugh.

I would rather be president of an organization than take its minutes. Seriously. It's less work. Clerking is hard.
Posted by: Martha at January 29, 2007 11:17 AM
Too late to the party, as always, but great photo! I gotta knit me some mitts.
Posted by: Lucia at January 29, 2007 12:54 PM
Dale is so cute!
I'm glad it was a mostly good weekend.
Posted by: Cookie at January 29, 2007 12:54 PM
too funny! i guess fetching is this season's clapotis...blink and you might miss one!
Posted by: amanda at January 29, 2007 1:05 PM
Yay for JessaLu. Fetching is everywhere!
Posted by: Emily at January 29, 2007 1:38 PM
Love your fetchings! It's the perfect quick knit!
Posted by: ~Kristie at January 29, 2007 3:33 PM
How fun to have a Fetching friend! heh :)

I love recognizing hand-knit patterns on others! My dear friend from high school recently started her own photography studio, and she was showing me one of her first portrait shoots and the only thing I could fixate on was the fact that the little boy was wearing the star sweater from the cover of Adorable Knits for Tots.
And of course meeting fellow knitters -- not just their projects -- is fun too. :)

What a nice surprise to meet up with another knit blogger and share the love; you do need to bow out of that Clerk position though, as knitting makes meetings so much more interesting. Start grooming them now...
Posted by: Birdsong at January 29, 2007 6:26 PM
What a fun picture!
Sadly, extricating one's self from something like a clerkship is...well, not so easy. One must often just quit and stick to the quit-ness for around six months.
