Well, actually it was knitting on the leaves, not on the grass, but pleasant just the same. The knitbloggers' picnic went off on Saturday afternoon, with lots of lovely snacks, delightful knitting projects, and charming significant others, babies, and dogs for companions. There was a bit of spinning, too.
Frith (walking, foreground) brought Michael and their son, Coltrane.
Jeni (above right) brought her daughter Brianna, and Willis.
Janine brought her husband, J., and managed to go mobile across the lawn to get to our picnic tables. I had hoped to get a more wheels-friendly spot, but the Alameda County Probation Officers Family Picnic beat me to it.
Jane and Lala talked about Bolinas.
Jeni, Rachael, and Lala spun. Elizabeth knit on a cool cabled cardi from a Japanese knitting book. Miss Idaho sat on Rachael's lap, but she also made fast friends with Celia.
I have more commentary and more photos, but Typepad is being a bastard, my cat is being a desk-hogging asshole, and I have to run and *get my braces removed*! More later (and hopefully I can get the captions next to the photos), I swear.
