Maybe the last day of the season on the deck

It was about 75 degrees and raining one minute and sunny the next. But I think our days of outdoor knitting are done for the year.

The afternoon Chicks loaded up the inventory this week.

Barbara B.'s Palindrome hat matches the scarf she finished last week. Her cable skills are perfection.

Liz finished another Ribbed Watchman's Cap and is so happy to be done with that beige yarn. I can't blame her for being so over it!

Janna finished her first pair of toe up, two at a time, magic loop socks and did a great job! She has yarn left over which might be enough to make a hat.

Liz also made a car seat blanket for a future baby donation. The soft green color looks pretty against my white phaleanopsis orchid.

Barbara B. took up where Liz left off and has a good bit of her Ribbed Watchman's Cap knitted.

Debbie dove right into a second pair of socks so she could practice the techniques before she had the chance to forget them. The colors are lovely!

Liz hasn't decided if her Old Shale pattern is going to be a cowl or a scarf. She has plenty of time to make up her mind.

Elaine's Mistake Stitch Scarf is almost done. That was a huge ball of yarn that started the scarf so she's going to knit until it's finished.

Barbara K.'s Palindrome scarf is about to the halfway mark. Great stitch definition and color!

I had yarn left from a cowl I made for myself and thought if I used all three it might be enough for a hat. If not, it can always be a cowl.

Maureen finished her adorable baby socks. We all love the new to us technique for the Shadow Wrap Heel stitch. No holes! No gaps!

Dorah finished her hat and has enough yarn left for another. Love those changing colors!

I finished the Himani Hat with the intricate diamond pattern. I had to work on this when I could knit alone. It's not a difficult pattern but I couldn't be distracted when working on it.

Carole worked on the ribbing for her adorable baby socks. She said the 3 inches of ribbing seemed to be taking forever to knit.

Dorah started another hat using a twisted rib which makes a lovely, defined ribbing.

And Carole's Irma Hat has a pretty lattice work design. She likes using Knit Picks Wool of the Andes. It's a great all purpose wool and very reasonably priced too.

Maureen's hat has a traveling diagonal line of stitches which add a nice touch to the design. It's actually the same yarn as Dorah's hat. Funny how lighting makes it look so different.

Don't for get that this weekend, September 28 and 29, is the Adirondack Wool and Arts Festival in Greenwich, New York. Look for me if you go. And if you don't see me there, check out the Ice Cream Man just outside the fairgrounds. Best ice cream around!

Have a great week and keep those needles clicking!
