Time for a bit of audience participation

From the desks of Kate and Joanna:
​
​We do this thing on quiet Saturday mornings. We watching things together. Sometimes we also knit ... while watching things together.
 
Today we had a quiet Saturday morning, so a movie was in order.
 
And since we love Mr. Winston Churchill... Darkest Hour was in order.
 
For those who aren’t familiar, Darkest Hour is about Churchill’s early days as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom during WWII.
 
It was cinematically lovely and the acting was amazing. We highly recommend it.
 
With Gary Oldman as Churchill! Who needs to know more!
 
It led us to discuss other things that we might do together, as together as we can from two states away.
 
We have long discussed doing a few knit alongs. For the non-knitters, a knit along (or is it knit-a-long?) is when multiple knitters complete the same pattern in unison. Some are organized for large groups over a set amount of time. We are not quite that structured.
 
We just pick a project and do something nerdy while knitting together, like watch West Wing or period British pieces. We have been having a little trouble deciding what to knit this time around. (Last time, we spent three years knitting sweaters... luckily they still fit our measurements by the time we were done.)
 
The sweater project was epic, if I say so myself. I’m quite proud of our sweaters.
 
Here are the sweaters:

In the past, we each purchased some of the same yarn and discussed using it for the same projects. Perhaps the time has come to put that lovely yarn into action?

But then we couldn’t decide which project to pick... so we thought we would let you pick!
