Your greatness is not what you have, it's what you give.

And I thought we wouldn't be knitting outside anymore

It was a surprise that we had a 60 degree day today so we squeezed one more day on the deck for this season.
If you remember, I mentioned that this project was making patriotic blankets for hospice patients who are veterans. Cinzia chose to knit a diagonally striped rectangle and will be adding red to the stripes.
Margaret made up her own pattern to keep it cheerful and easy.
I chose a chevron pattern and will be trying to keep it somewhat symmetrical with the stripes as follows: 20 rows of red and 10 rows of blue separated by 2 rows of white.
Barbara B. chose a feather and fan pattern and is doing a similar color pattern with blue as the dominant color.
Barbara K. just started her cast on. I wonder what it will become.
Carole's blanket is a diagonal knit also. The careful placement of increases and decreases will create a rectangular lap robe.
And Dorah, like the rest of us, changed her mind a few times but has finally settled on stripes in stockinette stitch with a garter edge.
She brought her ZickZack scarf to show us how beautiful it looks.
The colors are stunning and will be a nice addition to her collection.

 See you next week. Until then, keep those needles clicking!
