Knit and Lunch

 

Our San Ramon knitting group, started in 2011, had a fun filled farewell luncheon honoring 2 of our original knitters, Ann Cygielman and Jan Barnes. They are moving to 2 different states. We are glad they’ll be able to still join us on Zoom. We knit for various charities.

While lunching and knitting we spotted a darling family and offered their adorable son a hat. This picture will explain how he felt about receiving it. The only member of the family (Donald the French bulldog) was missing when the photo was taken.
