Your greatness is not what you have, it's what you give.

A quiet evening with my Chicks

Even though Cinzia has not been able to join us on Tuesdays for this semester, she has been busy knitting and finished two lovely items for the inventory. First up is this cute little pullover for the next time we donate to babies. The patterned section is magically knitted by the use of slipped stitches so you never use more than one color per row.
 This Mixed Wave cowl was filled with short rows to create the undulating effect between colors. The I-cord edges make a nice neat finish too.
 I watched a few Youtube video tutorials and learned the figure 8 cast on for two-at-a-time, toe up socks and the afterthought heel. These were a gift for a new baby in the family. I enjoyed making these and will probably use this as my go-to method of sock knitting. 
 Carole found a beautiful Madelinetosh fingering superwash yarn in the stash so she can start...
the Wolkig cowl. After casting on 200 stitches she is finally on her way through the first row.
The colors in this yarn are gorgeous!
Joules is still visiting but she didn't hang around long. She had to catch up on her napping in her favorite spot.
Margaret found a mistake and had to frog her hat from last week but she is back on track now.
I'm hoping to have my Wolkig cowl finished by next week so I can cast on something new. I wonder what I should knit next...
