Fun Day at the Lake and Help With My Knitting

I started a new scarf for my next knitting project. Only this time I am using a pattern for the first time. It has several different stitches in sections of the scarf. It's called "road scarf", I guess because it's like sections of a road. I had almost finished this section when I somehow dropped a stitch. I didn't know how to tear it out and keep everything else intact so I went to my local yarn shop and asked for help. A young lady about Kristen's age, took it from me, ripped out past where I was, all the while keeping the stitches on the needle. So she got me back on track. Thank goodness. I'm still learning the right and wrong sides of the stitches, etc. I'm a good knitter, but that's all I do is straight knit. I can purl okay too. But those are basic stitches. Everything else I'm learning as I go. This is a basket weave pattern here.
Yesterday we went to the lake again with a full boat. Kaitlyn and Michael came, along with Kaitlyn's roommate last year at the sorority house, Gloriana (she was in town for sorority stuff) and Kristen came down with her old roommate and sorority sister, Casey (who was in town from Tulsa). We had a great time on the lake. I think it was a little too much estrogen for Joe and Michael, however, so they drank the beer (I guess to keep their testosterone levels up). Here's Kristen and Casey riding in the front of the boat.
