Quiet knitting

There was some lovely superwash Cece's Wool Yarn Baby in the colorway "Looks Like Rain" left over from a project I had woven a couple of weeks ago which was just enough to make a pair of fingerless mitts called Happy Hands Fingerless Mitts. This is the same pattern Barbara B. was making last week.
 Janna's hat turned cowl is growing by the inch. She started with the idea of a hat but the gauge was off so I suggested that instead of frogging all those stitches why doesn't she knit for a couple of inches and then switch to a larger needle for another few inches, and up the needle size again until she had a tapered cowl. It's looking so nice!
 Jan's cowl is on the last section and should be bound off soon. The colors are so pretty!
 This lovely persimmon colored alpaca/mohair/acrylic blend yarn is going to be a cute beret. Those markers remind me when it's time to increase a stitch.
 Carole finished another Helix Hat with such nice colors. The gray and purple look so nice with the heather rose.
 Maureen has a personal project on which we will all get to knit love and prayers for a dear friend's daughter who is facing a health crisis. This will become a cozy wrap to envelop the young woman with warmth and strength to face the coming battle.
 Carole's Ikigai cowl is looking lovely too. That mini cable is accomplished with a YO (yarnover), slip one stitch, knit one stitch, pass the slipped stitch over. I can't wait to see it finished! 
See you next week after we celebrate St. Patrick's Day.
