Thank goodness for air conditioning! I was all set to have the Chicks on the deck today but it started to rain when I went out for my morning walk and it turned on the steam heat! So we stayed inside where it was cool. Barbara K. wound some pretty green sport weight yarn to start another hat and matching scarf.
She is making a hat based on the Palindrome scarf and will have enough yarn to make the scarf to match.
Janna's TAAT socks on magic loop are coming along beautifully! She has a few more inches to knit before she starts the Shadow Wrap heel.
Barbara B. is working on her 1898 hat but the yarn is tripping her up since she found a few knots. It's an acrylic yarn so she can't spit splice it. Instead, she used the braided join.
Elaine is working on her Aran Watch Cap, using a lovely cream colored, worsted weight yarn.
I needed an easy project so I could talk and knit at the same time because my other project requires that I alternate counting 5 and then 4 stitches and well...you know... I can't chew gum and walk at the same time. This is the Ribbed Watchman's Hat in a soothing shade of grey Plymouth Encore.
Carole finished two Helix hats and...
her green socks. These are sized to fit a large youth or small woman. The stitching is so uniform it almost looks machine knitted.
Margaret practiced her kitchener stitch on the second sock since she didn't like the finished stitching on her first one. I think she's got the hang of it now.
Maureen's socks are growing in length. Soon she will be picking up those pink waste yarn stitches to knit the afterthought heel.
And Dorah is at about the same spot on her socks as Maureen.
Carole's 1898 hat has grown and is now in the decreasing stages. A few more rows and she will be done.
Next Tuesday we Chicks will be commemorating 14 years...count them 14 YEARS of knitting together! Be sure to check back then to see how we celebrate.
