Today the part of Dorah will be played by Maureen and Nancy

We started out talking about cars getting bumped in parking lots and our experiences learning to drive and it was all fun and games until 2 o'clock when Maureen just couldn't hold back and since Dorah couldn't make it today she felt obligated to stand in for her. LOL! You must know we are talking about the taboo subject...politics! What she said sent us into roars of laughter and then Nancy added more to the story. We had to call Dorah to tell her what she was missing. She appreciated the stand-in!

Chef Barbara B made a fruit cookie pizza with her sourdough recipe. It was as delicious as it looks! The filling in which the fruit settled was made with cream cheese, powdered sugar, and the cookie had almond extract. YUM!

She brought a bunch of FO's today too! This sweet little cardigan has the cutest buttons too.

Crayons in all the colors adorn the front and the strap on the helmet hat.

I missed getting the name of this pattern but it's adorable.

I'm really slipping since I didn't get the name of this hat either!

And she finished the set for a new baby in her family.

Carole finished another colorful Helix Hat using left over DK weight yarns.

I finished the Knit Baby Jacket Set and didn't have buttons I liked so I custom made some with the same yarn as the sweater. I will be doing this again as it was very easy and I like having matching buttons.

This is the cardigan on which I made a mistake knitting the sleeves so I turned a mistake into a design element and added a few bands to each sleeve.

Now I'm working on a matching hat with the same bands.

Jan started the Leftie scarf and had some difficulties with holes forming where the wrap and turn stitches were formed. She has it all worked out now and they look fine!

Her donation project is the Honeysuckle Beanie which is coming along nicely.

Maureen's Bert Baby Blanket has another whole band of color!

Cinzia started a pair of baby booties from a pattern book but it was giving her a hard time so she opted to make her own pattern.

Margaret designed her own hat with a cute little polka dot pattern.

Nancy is a good way through the bodice of the Wee Bean cardigan.

Barbara K's pink striped hat has grown quite a bit since we last saw it. This is the yarn she "cannibalized" (wow! that sounds harsh!) from a ball of variegated yarns that had many colors but she didn't want the pinks. VOILA! Just cut them out!

Carole's Wee Bean is at the same point of progress as Nancy's.

This Kennedy Cardigan is free on Ravelry.

Barbara B is using a lovely, machine washable yarn from WEBS for it.

Janna's Someday Baby Blanket is slow going but beautiful!

Margaret finished the Flax sweater and a matching hat. The sweater was a bit tricky but she mastered it!

I need to walk off that cookie pizza but it's so hot out. Maybe I'll wait until the temps cool down a bit. In the meantime, have a great week and keep those needles clicking!
