Rounding up the baby clothes

This week's projects are showing lots of progress.
Dorah's baby sweater has a body and she started one of the sleeves tonight.
 Margaret designed a baby bib pattern. The loop for around the neck is on the left.
 Maureen started a shawl/wrap for a friend's daughter who is going through chemo. We are each going to knit a bunch of rows to contribute our prayers and support for her recovery.
 Last week I looked up a new technique, well new to me anyway. The Purl Soho pattern for the Reversible Rivulets scarf recommends the tubular cast on which I had never done before. So off to good ole" Youtube to find a video tutorial. Sure enough Roxanne Richardson had a great one to follow. I'm pretty pleased with myself and the results. ;)
 And in a week's time I've knitted almost all of the first 220 yard ball of yarn.
Since I have two balls of this lovely pink yarn, I'm going to knit until there is enough to bind off and that will have to be long enough. Now I have to hunt for a video tutorial to learn the tubular bind off.
That will be next week's lesson. In the meantime, keep those needles clicking!
