Seat warmer

Fozzie is so considerate! He immediately jumps on the dining room chairs as soon as I remove the covers to protect them from his fuzzy fur. He likes to keep them warm for when the Chicks arrive.😸 There is no fear that they will be cold today with the temps in the 90's!

I forgot to take a picture of Barbara B.'s sourdough chocolate bundt cake with chocolate ganache and mini chips but rest assured it was delicious! She made it in honor of Dorah's birthday and my husband's and my 47th anniversary, both which were last week.

In addition to baking such scrumptious goodies for us, she was busy knitting up a storm. She finished the Baby Beanie to go with the Bella Sweater with the sweet lacy accents.

And look at the adorable elephant buttons on the...

Tiny Isla Sweater. Barbara made the Twig Bonnet to complete the ensemble.

She finished the body of another sweater this afternoon.

The Wee Anna Lynn is an asymmetrical lace front cardigan.

Cinzia is working on the Fagus, a paid pattern on Ravelry. She is using a lovely tonal yarn to make a special scarf for herself.

Jan's rainbow Wee Bean cardigan looks adorable! If you look closely you can see a strand of contrasting yarn running through the stitches which is her lifeline, insurance against making a mistake.

Maureen was so busy this week enjoying the company of her grandchildren that she didn't have much time to work on her Totally Biased cowl. But we have time since these won't need to be delivered until the fall.

Nancy found a lovely lilac fingering weight yarn to make the cowl called...

The Waverly Weekend Cowl which has a chevron lace pattern. The original pattern is written for worsted weight yarn but with a little adjustments to needle size and number of cast on stitches, it can be adapted to a lighter weight yarn.

Dorah combined two Periwinkle Sheep fingering weight yarns that have a bit of sparkle to make a basic beanie hat.

Last week I showed you a cardigan I had started with this Plymouth Encore DK weight yarn. I discovered pretty shortly after starting that I misread the yarn amounts and knew I wouldn't have enough to complete the sweater. So I frogged that one and cast on for a hat. No pattern, just winging it!

So that wraps up another week with my lovely knitters. 

I hope you are keeping cool in this heat wave while also keeping those needles clicking!
