Grey or gray?

I thought we were going to have the opportunity to knit on the deck since the heat wave finally broke but it's been raining for two days and even the cat's fur is frizzy! Who knew cats could have bad hair days? LOL! So we knitted indoors where it was comfortable.
I started a 2x2 ribbed hat which is gender neutral in Cascade 220 silver grey/gray. I never know which spelling to use. I looked it up and apparently either is correct. However, grey is the UK spelling while gray is the US spelling. Whatever! 
 Cinzia's vest is down to the last few inches of ribbing for the finished edge. She used Noro Silk Garden but even with the silk content, it's a little scratchy. Well, it's a vest so it will be worn over a shirt so it shouldn't be uncomfortable. Love those Noro colors!
 Liz is almost finished with her scarf made with Lamb's Pride mohair blend. She finished the hat but put it in her bag before I could photograph it. I think she had to weave in the ends first.
 Barbara's Palindrome scarf grew many inches since last we met. That royal purple color is rich! I believe it's also Cascade 220. We all agreed we like that one as a good all purpose worsted weight wool. It has nice stitch definition which is great for those reversible cables.
 Dorah reached the decrease portion of her 2x2 ribbed hat.
By evening's end she finished it and wove in the ends.
Maureen's Last Minute Cowl is bigger than last week and may well be on its way to completion.
Carole worked on her hat and decided to throw in some random stripes here and there.
I finished the purple hat from last week which was inspired by the pattern Wurm.
Do you ever get the answer to your question and you're sure you'll remember the answer later? Yeah, well...I can't remember the name of this hat pattern. Carol finished it to go with...
the "Swimming with Salmon" cowl. This is a lovely lace pattern which is free on Ravelry.
That's all for now. I hope everyone is safe from Hurricane Florence and pray it doesn't cause serious damage. See you next week!
