Inside knitting today

There were 9 of us today and thanks to the 90% humidity, we opted to stay indoors with the air conditioning. 
Janna said she feels like this scarf will never end. She and Debbie were trying to figure out what the weight of the yarn. We came to the conclusion that it's a lightweight fingering so that accounts for the long time it takes to make progress.
Cinzia's shawl looks pretty with the gradual changes of color. She made up the pattern as she knits it.
Margaret and Dorah were both beginning their hats. I think Dorah is making the Declan hat. Not sure what Margaret has planned.
And Barbara B. made it past the provisional cast on for a double thick cuff on her shortie sock. Her yarn is Paton's Kroy Sock.
  
Maureen continued her Sightseer Cowl from last week. I love the black and pink combo!
And it looks like Liz is just casting on for a new hat too.
I finished up a woven scarf on my rigid heddle loom using two yarns that were a merino and cashmere blend that I bought at a garage sale last year. I can't believe how soft it is. The fringe still needs to be trimmed, twisted, and then the whole thing takes a swim for blocking or wet finishing in weaving terms.
Debbie finished up her cabled hat with lovely stitch definition.

 Everyone left just minutes before we had a doozie of a thunderstorm. All this heat must have triggered it. Things have quieted down now so it's time to finish this and get my needles clicking! Have a great week!
