My granddaughter took a photo of me and two good knitting friends as we sat on my front porch, knitting.
One friend Terry was knitting socks with the Woolens and Nosh Yarn colorway actually named Porch Knitting.
Our friend Randi was knitting a Hawthorne Tank by Caitlin Hunter.
I was knitting Christmas Socks with Must Stash Yarn that Terry had given me.
I shared the photo of the three of us with our Knitting Buddies Zoom group.
And the photo inspired one of our members to paint us -Porch Knitting.
It was Joanne’s first time using acrylics and she was visiting her sister Mary who was tutoring her on using the new paints. Joanne usually paints with watercolors.
Here’s her first acrylic painting-
Porch Knitting
Holding Porch Knitting yarn, knit into socks!
Looks like a knit full time!
I love the painting. ❤️
Very cool. I love the painting.
Looks like a great group of ladies and the painting is awesome!
Your granddaughter took a great picture! I also love sitting on my front porch to knit with friends. pam
Ruth, I love this post!!
At a first quick glance I thought it was a photo of Hooters break room. Great photo, great fun and an amazing painting. dc
Prema is well on her way to becoming a gifted photographer, just like her grandma. Terrific photo. And then for Joanne to paint the scene based on the image. This is all around beautiful in many ways. The friendship. The porch. The love, the creativity.
Yes it’s a win win win. Thanks Audrey.
That is an awesome painting. Love the models!
Thanks Darlene.
Summer fun with friends – nothing better. Great job Prema and Joanne. gcr
It was serendipity. Thanks gcr❤️
That looks like lots of fun. I need to get back to my knitting.
It’s helps see me through.
This is fantastic! Prema took a lovely photo and Joanne painted a beautiful picture. This is a gem!
From the artist Joanne “ Thanks for posting this Ruth. Your porch knitting photo inspired me, and I really appreciate my sister guiding me through the basics of acrylic painting. I so enjoyed visiting her out in the country and spending time drinking tea, knitting, playing Scrabble and painting. And I discovered what is promoted as the largest yarn shop in Canada … bonus! https://wool-tyme.com/
I will always love being part of this, Ruth and Prema!
❤️
