Show and Tell some FO's

Maureen finished her "March Hat" which uses a stitch pattern based on the Seersucker stitch. I think she said the designer named her patterns for the months of the year, hence "March".
We added another dish cloth to the inventory for the Grassroots Givers.
And the Helix Hat from Dorah is ready too.
Barbara K. did a fancy little cable stitch on her dish cloth.
And Cinzia made a fancy big cable on her hooded vest which is folded and hiding behind the vest. We decided to save this one for our future donation inventory which will be going to Knit the Rainbow in NYC to help homeless LGBTQ youth.
She also knitted the Basket Weave Cowl with a fingering weight yarn which beautifully shows off the woven design of the knitted fabric.
Maureen is currently working on a Sunnyside Cardigan with the lace option for a baby gift.
Barbara B.'s Zomboni (not Zamboni like the ice rink cleaner) by Casapinka looks lovely as it grows from a lace weight yarn.
And Barbara K.'s Present Cowl has grown quite a lot since she started it last week.
Carole's Rhode Trip Hat is far enough along now to see those great cables. The pattern is free on Ravelry and there is a matching cowl however, it states the pattern is no longer available. But if you can make the hat, just knit the pattern longer and add a matching ribbed edge and you have a cowl.
My Basket Weave Cowl is quite a bit larger in stitch gauge than Cinzia's since I'm using somewhere between an Aran/Bulky weight yarn. 
Dorah found some colorful yarn in her stash and could picture only a child's hat so that's what she's making.
By the end of our two hour meeting, she already reached the portion of the hat where she can begin decreasing for the crown.
 
That's the great thing about bulky weight yarns. They knit up quickly so you can move on to a new project before boredom sets in.
I'm sitting in my kitchen, admiring the beautiful autumn colors outside my window and thinking I should walk around the block while it's still unusually warm. 
How long should I sit until the feeling passes?😆
Keep those needles clicking!
