Wow! Look at the size of that ship!

I think there was more activity on the Hudson today than all the weeks we’ve been meeting here. I arrived in time to see these three guys pass each other. And then....

                                     This behemoth comes floating down the river!   

At the same time a tugboat is pushing a barge up the river and we all held our breath because from our vantage point, the river doesn’t look wide enough to accommodate both ships.

But it made it just fine. Maureen and I were wondering if this ship had no cargo since the aft portion was sticking out of the water. It was a busy river full of distractions for us.

Maureen worked on a baby blanket with sailboats worked into the pattern and “ropes” separating the panels.

Annika started the decreasing portion of her hat. The high contrast of her colors show off her pattern nicely.

My two at a time magic loop socks have made it past the heel and I’m working up the leg. Since I’m using both ends of the same ball of yarn, the stripes travel in opposite directions up the sock.

And lastly, Janna’s Emiliana shawl is at the home stretch. She has finished the mosaic portion and is finishing up the last solid section.

 It was REALLY hot at the river today so it feels good to be back in the AC. I hope next week the weather will be more conducive to sitting with wool in our laps. Until then, keep those needles clicking!
