Surprise! We're back in action!

Two adorable bunnies came to welcome the Chicks back to our regular Tuesday meetings. Barbara B. made the one on the left for her granddaughter's first communion and the one on the right for her niece's new baby. Now she's working on...

more clothes for them. Here in front of the bunny is part of the little white communion dress she made for dress-up. The veil will be included too.

We all had to take a close look at those adorable little cuddly bunnies.

Carole showed us the hats she made while we waited to return to in person meetings.

Dorah made the Reyna shawl with a lovely sock yarn from an online shop called Purple Lamb. She used a fingering weight yarn which made a scarf sized shawl. She said if she makes it again she'll use a worsted weight yarn and larger needles to make it more shawl sized.

You can tell by the smiles we all enjoyed being able to get together again.

And there was much to discuss since it's been so long away from each other.

Here are the hats Carole made (in center) and some WIPs.

Dorah started this Declan's Hat...

using a soft green yarn which will really show off the fancy stitch work of the pattern.

Carole is using a slow color changing yarn to knit...

A Martina Behm pattern for a shawl that changes direction as it's knitted. This will be spectacular!

Cinzia is running out of yarn for this sweet little dress so Plan B is to turn it into a skirt with the lace edging highlighting the hem.

Janna chose lovely neutral colors for her Morton Cowl which alternates a bulky yarn with a sock yarn.

Barbara K. is just starting a hat in 2x2 ribbing with a cheerful pastel variegated yarn.

Last up is my Throwback Pixie hood using a machine washable yarn for ease of laundering. I've made a ton of these and still enjoy the journey!

 It felt really good to have some of the flock together again. There are still a couple of snowbirds who have either not returned yet or are keeping away until sure of their health status. But it helped to bring some normalcy back to our lives. Stay happy, stay well, and keep those needles clicking!
