If you look closely at the red circle you can see my kitty, Fozzie, watching from the family room, or the mezzanine as we jokingly call it. He has gradually become more accustomed to the Chicks visiting every Tuesday. Sometimes he walks around the table to make sure everyone is on their toes. But he never touches our yarns. He's such a gentleman.
I brought all my donated yarn stash down to the dining room so the Chicks could go "shopping". Every now and then they need to see it. Otherwise out of sight, out of mind. And I have way more SABLE (stash acquisition beyond life expectancy) than any one person should have.😏
Barbara B. worked on a new project this week. This is her Letters from Russia, a pretty, lacy shawl in an asymmetrical triangle. She's using yarn from Kool Kolors dyed by my daughter.
Cinzia worked on her Glacier Cowl which is a freebie on Ravelry.
I didn't catch the name of this baby sweater that Maureen is making but it's adorable. It starts at the back bottom edge and is worked up and over the shoulders. Then the button bands are added to the front.
Jan continued working on her Squarshy Hat, the funny pattern with the naughty words.
Dorah picked out some yarn from the "shopping spree" to start a Helix Hat, using some Knitpicks Wool of the Andes yarn.
Barbara K. started another Mistake Stitch Scarf which is a great stash buster pattern.
Janna started the same scarf pattern which blends nicely with her finished Watchman's Cap.
Margaret is halfway through her 1898 hat and decided to make the crown in the helix technique. It doesn't show here but next week I'm sure she'll be far enough along to show it.
And I'm making the same hat only with a solid crown.
Last week I showed you Barbara B's Zomboni scarf in progress. During the week she blocked it and...
She brought it in to show us how lovely it is. The long edge looks like little picot loops but it's a design feature just from changing from garter stitch to stockinette stitch.
From top to bottom: Margaret finished her own design hat, Dorah finished the colorful hat, and there's Janna's finished cap again.
Jan P. completed her Reversible Stripes Scarf and the Turn a Square Hat to pair with it.
We are well on our way to a good collection of items to donate to Grassroots Givers soon.
Keep those needles clicking!
