Two lovely scarves

Cinzia delivered two scarves to my back door today.
This first one is knitted with a “ladder” yarn. It will make a fashionable addition to someone’s wardrobe.
 This second scarf is full of pastel cheerfulness! It looks to me like the Zick Zack pattern which shows off the Chevron stitch nicely.

We’ll be taking time off from Zoom-ing until the new year. Enjoy your holidays and keep those needles clicking!

It’s been a while

It’s been quite some time since we Chicks had a Zoom meeting so it was good to see some of the flock and catch up on our projects.
Dorah is working on a cozy afghan using Wool and the Gang merino/alpaca blend for a really soft and warm blanket.
The pattern is made up of strategically placed knits and purls for this dimensional block design.
She is also working on the most cheerful pair of socks! The self striping yarn does all the work for a darling pair of anklets.
Margaret has been working on a pair of socks for her daughter but since she hates working with sock weight yarn, she’s in no hurry to finish them. That’s true love though, knitting something you know isn’t fun just because you love your kid!
Janna finished the blanket she was working on since August and it looks great! The yarn colors are such a nice combination.
Annika made a hat for her church charity and someone liked it so much but it didn’t fit so she offered to make another in a more appropriate size. She’s just about ready to start the decreases at the top of the hat.
Barbara K. made two hats for her granddaughter. This one is her take on the Palindrome scarf turned into a hat.
And this one is simply swirled. Her pompoms are enviable! She said she used the pompom maker but watched a YouTube video tutorial for the instructions. They turned out great!
It’s hard to see but Maureen made a snowflake hat using the Fair Isle technique.
And she finished her Easy Goes It shawl/scarf.
Please excuse the wonky margins but ever since the updates I can’t seem to get things formatted properly. Hey! I’m a knitter not a techie, LOL! We’ll be back in the new year so no one gets “Zoom fatigue” again. In the meantime, keep those needles clicking!
