What a gorgeous day we had by the river today! Lazy kayaks floated by while some little boys fished along side the big boys (men). I only wish the evening Chicks could have joined us too.
We found a shady spot with cool breezes which kept most of the bugs away. There was one persistent little guy who was determined to get Liz though.
She managed to get a bit more of her hat knitted in between swatting the fly away.
Debbie practiced her Shadow Wrap heel and finished the whole thing. It looks really nice and there are NO HOLES!
Janna is a bit farther along on her socks with the same heel technique. I don't think we'll ever go back to the traditional short row wraps, Japanese wraps, or German short rows ever again!
Barbara B. has the pattern memorized for the Palindrome cabled scarf. That little green doohickie on her thumb is a digital row counter. It's a handy gadget but she said she can't change the battery on it. But it's cheap enough to get a new one when this one stops working.
I picked up stitches for the thumbs on the mittens you saw last week.
By the time the evening Chicks arrived they were finished.
Maureen finished her children's socks and...
she made a sweet little cardigan for her future granddaughter who will be greeting the world in a couple of months.
We have a new evening Chick! Jan Picard is a retired school teacher (thank you Jan for your years of teaching) and we welcomed her to the flock and put her to work right away.
Margaret made progress on her Helix hat but part way through it she noticed a dropped stitch. I showed her how to fudge it so she didn't have to rip out 3 inches of knitting.
Dorah started this cute little cap tonight with a self striping yarn that has slow color changes, so her stripes will be wider than in the photo.
Another week has come and gone and we are that much closer to cooler temps. You know what that means? Knit faster, winter is coming!
