Starting a new project

Before we get to the new stuff, Carole brought her warm, thick mittens to show us.
The pattern is from the book put out by Cascade yarns and includes many good looking patterns.
Before she starts a blanket, Carole is finishing up her 1898 hat. One more ear flap to go and then it's free sailing through the rest of the hat.
Dorah saw an ad requesting lap robes for veterans in hospice care so we are making red, white, and blue patriotic blankets for the next project. She designed her own blanket and is checking gauge to calculate how many stitches to cast on for the width she wants to make.
I like making modular squares blankets so I'm going to make a connect as you go blanket using the colors of the flag in alternating sequence.
Margaret designed her blanket too. That's the fun part of this project...we can make it up as we go along.
Jan A. worked on her shawl which has a pretty lace section in the asymmetrical shape.
Her tonal brown yarn looks like yummy chocolate!
Barbara B. showed us her "Sweetie" Shawl in beautiful autumn colors.
 If anyone is interested, The Hudson Mohawk Weavers' Guild has their annual show this weekend, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. The artisans always have gorgeous items for sale. It might be a good spot Some of the Chicks and I will be going so we can oooo and ahhh over the beautiful fibers. But for now, keep those needles clicking!
