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

Starting over

Margaret's hat pattern seemed to have an error in stitch count so she frogged it back from last week's progress and decided to make up her own pattern. So far, so good!
 Carole's Wolkig cowl looks like an octopus right now but soon it will look like...
 the one I finally finished this week. The placement of decreasing stitches and increasing stitches makes it look like it's smocked. This merino/silk blend yarn is lightweight but warm.
 Dorah made 3 attempts to knit the Wolkig also but her yarn wasn't cooperating. We give a project 3 chances and if it is still giving us a hard time, it's time to move one. So she did! Now she's knitting the Copy Cat Hat in a lovely purple Patons yarn.
 This is what it will look like. I've seen this hat all around town this winter and we have 2 in our inventory so it will be nice to add another one!
Today was supposed to be the first day of spring but with temps in the low 30's and some snow still on the ground, it doesn't quite feel it. Maybe by next week Mother Nature will be in a better mood and start sending warmer days and some green sprouts to cheer us up. Keep your fingers crossed and your knitting needles clicking!
