With the start of the new year we Chicks have some finished projects to show off. A few weeks ago Karin modeled the shawl I designed and now I have the details of it's construction.
The yarn is Karin's own Periwinkle Sheep Sock Yarn and the shawl took two skeins to complete.http://www.etsy.com/listing/62258295/new-periwinkle-sheep-watercolors-sock?ref=sr_gallery_1&ga_search_query=periwinkle+sheep+watercolors+sock+yarn&ga_search_type=category&category=knitting&ga_page=&order=&includes%5B0%5D=tags&includes%5B1%5D=title&filter%5B0%5D=handmade&filter%5B1%5D=knitting
The color is called Terracotta.
I designed the pattern and hope to write it up for sale after it is test knitted.
I had a bit of yarn left over from a previous project and it was just enough to make the hat portion but not the ties of a pattern called "Avery's Happy Cap" a pattern designed by a friend.
My daughter's old baby doll served as a proper model for the second version made using a baby alpaca yarn.
Kathleen brought lots of finished projects this week. A leaf lace sweater, a Pelerine, mittens and hats....
And this darling cardigan, which has a hood but it's hanging back where you can see it.
Elaine made a darling cabled baby hat for the inventory and it was good to see her again after a too long hiatus.
Sheila's Pelerine is showing good progress,
And Barbara's hands whipped through a pretty shawl that she's making using a colorful sock yarn.
Maureen is almost finished with her pink baby blanket.
And Beth finished another baby cardigan and is going on a hunt for the perfect buttons.
It felt good to get back to knitting with my Chicks and we look forward to a new year with lots of fun projects and get togethers.
