A glorious start to summer, well technically it's tomorrow but...

The warm, sunny afternoon was a pleasant compliment to our conversations about children, grandchildren, what's for dinner, what everyone is reading, and knitting. Maureen now has five little ones for whom she can knit so she is looking for cute hat patterns. 

Barbara K. was hunting through her WIPs and found a Cabin Fever Buttons Cardigan which needed its finishing touches.

Since our current project is for homeless women veterans, Barbara generously donated her sweater to my other group, The Delaware Avenue Stitch Angels. Her choice of buttons are a lovely compliment to the sky blue sweater.

Dorah didn't have much time during the week to knit so she took advantage of our afternoon together to add inches to her Changing Staircases Shawl.

Maureen started another basic beanie hat and...

added another Helix Hat to our inventory. Those colors are fabulous!

Barbara B. knocked those beautiful cables out of the ballpark! 

The staghorn cables are the highlight of...

the Stacked Stag-horn Baby Sweater, a free pattern on Ravelry. There is also a free version for the worsted weight size.

There are very few rows left to finish on my Sophie Scarf. I'm enjoying this so much I just might have to cast on immediately for another. It's a perfect project for mindless social knitting, as long as you can count to 8 (which, just between you and me, can be a challenge for me sometimes 😉)

If today is any example of what the summer weather will be, it should be a great season for outdoor knitting. So have a great week and keep those needles clicking!
