Getting prepared for this Friday's Yarn Bombing

The Chicks are collaborating with The Delaware Avenue Stitch Angels on the annual yarn bombing which is held on Delaware Avenue in front of the Albany Public Library. We need to attach labels to all our donations so anyone passing by will know that they can take whatever items they need to keep warm this winter.

Our group collected and labeled 2 hat and cowl sets, 4 cowls, 7 scarves, 26 hats, and 6 pairs of mittens. 

Cinzia finished her Reversible Stripes Scarf and will save it for Friday's labeling.

Now that we have completed yarn bombing knitting we can concentrate on our next cycle of knitting which will be donated to Knit the Rainbow in NYC. Janna's first project on the needles will be a Helix Hat with these cheerful colors.

Annika has chosen a cabled cowl pattern for which she will use this softly dappled gradient yarn. The Woodnote Cowl uses approximately 200 yards of a worsted weight yarn.

Barbara B. is dropping stripes whenever the mood strikes her to make a lovely 22.5 Degrees Shawl. The bind off of this wide, shallow triangular shawl creates a pretty scalloped edge.

Dorah's Bewind Hat was finished before we broke for the day. 

The label has been attached and it's ready for Friday.

I happened to see this Sava Springs Cap pattern being offered for free on a Facebook page the day of release and was lucky enough to get it. I'm using a Patons Classic Wool in worsted weight. It's a pretty heather blue-green color which refuses to show up in the photo.

As soon as Dorah finished her Bewind Hat, she cast on for the Splendid Squares Hat.

It's going to be a stunner in her Malabrigo yarn.

As you can see I'm being summoned for yet another food run for the King Fozzie. So before he starts biting the wires of my computer, I'll leave you with my weekly words....

Keep those needles clicking!
