Finished Objects

This week's episode starts off with FO's from my Chicks. Janna finished the Dexter vest I showed you last week and added a hat to match. There was more of this yarn so she is planning on making another set.
 Debbie finished the mate to the socks and added a little buddy, both with acrylic, machine washable yarns.
Maureen finished her colorful hat which goes with.... 
 this sweet newborn size Baby Eyelet cardigan. The eyelets serve two purposes, one for decoration and the other for buttonholes.
 Carole showed us her Gryer Shawl for which she used Periwinkle Sheep DK Merino yarns. It is beautiful!
 The yarn is so soft and squishy and she doesn't even have to block it. This was a project just for her. Every now and then we need to treat ourselves to something special and this shawl certainly fits the bill.
Debbie cast on stitches for a purple hat. 
 And Barbara K. is halfway down the two sleeves at once, magic loop style on her Buttons cardigan.
 I'm almost ready to insert the contrasting yarn for the afterthought heel on my toddler socks, also knit two at a time on magic loop.
 Maureen actually finished this Ombre baby hat after I took photos for the evening so it's already in the inventory.
 Carole is about 2/3 of the way through on her baby blanket. She was planning on making it about 20 inches square but when she picked it up it had stretched to about 30 inches! It's going to be lovely.
 Barbara B. worked on squares for a blanket. I can't wait to see it finished.
 And Dorah's baby hat with Plymouth Encore yarn is coming along nicely.
 I am having my family room painted so we had to gather in the living room today. It's a more intimate setting but the lighting is better in the larger room. 
Hopefully, we'll be back in the family room in a couple of weeks. But it was nice to have a change of scenery.
Have a great week and keep those needles clicking!
