We're back to deck knitting

 Even though wintery cold, sunny days are my absolute favorite, I have to admit that springtime fills me with joy when I walk through my neighborhood and see colors popping everywhere.

And I have to take advantage of walking while it's still cool enough. The temps hit 80 degrees this afternoon so these lovely blossoms will drop soon to be replaced by other pretty flowers.

There were just five of us this afternoon to enjoy the random breezes that wafted through the deck, occasionally ringing the windchimes.

Margaret started a Helix Hat with some pretty teal colored yarn.

It didn't take her long to finish the cuff and add the purple stripes. Such a pretty color combo!

Maureen's Reversible Stripes Scarf was sent to the time out corner for a while but it's back in circulation and ready to be completed.

Jan's Simple Little Scarf is in the early stages. She made some modifications to the original pattern which had a 3 stitch I-cord edges but she didn't like the bulk it created. She went up in needle size and made the edge with knit 1 stitch at the beginning of the row and slip the last stitch purlwise with the yarn in front. This creates a neat chain look edge.

Tina is using the Navajo Ply technique on her Petal Showers Hat which sports a pretty little flower like motif in the design.

I'm working on a cable/braided headband which I found on YouTube and wrote the instructions for my personal library. It's a pretty easy pattern but just gets fiddly when you reach the middle where you have to make a one row cable. Then it's smooth sailing the rest of the way.

I'm still sitting on the deck but between the pollen and neighborhood lawnmowers, I've decided it's time to get back to the AC where my throat won't tickle anymore. Have a great week and keep those needles clicking!
