Outside again!

The Chicks and I had a lovely afternoon knit on my front lawn. I always loved seeing the dandelions sprouting from the grass. It's a sure sign of better things to come.

We started out sitting on the sunny side of the lawn. But soon had to move to a slightly shadier spot.

Barbara B. had a show and tell to proudly display. Her 11 year old granddaughter wanted to learn how to sew so Barbara showed her the basics, her parents bought her a sewing machine, and she watched YouTube videos to learn how to make her Nana a project bag!

She even completely lined the bag! That kid's got talent!!! Watch out world! There's another seamstress on the horizon!

Barbara B. worked on a shawl using LolaBean yarn. This yarn is heaven to work with and the color choices are beautiful.

The pattern is called Exordium and was free on Ravelry for a short time. Now you have to pay for the pattern. She and I were lucky enough to have seen it when is was available free of charge.

Jan A. worked on a baby blanket. It's working up quickly because she is holding two strands of yarn together to make a bulky weight, using Caron yarn for its machine wash-ability.

Maureen worked on a hat and...

Barbara K. worked on a Hepsi's cowl. The yarn came from our donated stash. Such a pretty color.

I added some length to a Hannah Hals cowl for a child. It starts out with two triangles which are sewn together along the long edge, leaving the center stitches live for picking up to knit a turtleneck collar.

Carole arrived a bit late so we let her have her coffee and decompress before she picked up her knitting.

She finished her Easy scarf. It's a paid pattern from Martina Behm.

The way the colors change direction is a real mind bender but Carole said it's easy to make.

Now she's picked up the Bankhead Hat using Manos del Uraguay yarn which is as soft as a cloud!

I'm hoping that spring is here to stay so we can continue to meet outdoors. Gotta keep those needles clicking, you know!
