This week's culinary delight is...

Barbara B. made sourdough chocolate chip muffins for our snack this week. And yes! They were finger lickin' good! It's has reached the point where she is now taking requests. I think I heard someone throw out a suggestion for carrot cake for next week. LOL!

But we are here to knit after all so we had to wait until later in the session to get our fingers all chocolatey. 

Nancy mentioned to Janna that she had a pair of earrings that were designed after RBG's lace collar so she wore them today. They do look just like the Dissent Cowl!

Barbara B finished her Breathe and Hope Shawl in time to wear it today. She looks lovely with it.

Nancy collected some left over sock yarn to make a LOSY hat. The purple is beautifully highlighted by the Malabrigo earth colors.

Barbara's baby project is the sideways knitted Short Row Baby Hat.

She is using yarn which my daughter dyed using Kool Aid.

The fiber blend of wool and alpaca makes it nice and soft.

Annika was happy to start a scarf after all the Icelandic wool hats she had been knitting. The pattern is very similar to a feather and fan pattern.

Janna was coming down the home stretch on her Easy Scarf by Martina Behm. There were six more rows to be knitted before the bind off row.

She was worried that she would run out of yarn before finishing off the last stitch.

But the "Knitting Goddesses" had her back. She finished with almost 4 yards left over. If you ever find yourself with not enough yarn to finish the bind off row you can always use the yarnless bind off but it makes for a less elastic edge.

I am knitting the same Easy Scarf but with a lighter fingering weight yarn and smaller needle so it's taking me much longer to complete. Janna used a DK weight yarn and size 7 needle and I'm using a size 4 needle and twice as much yarn for a much longer scarf. At this rate I'm hoping to have it finished by next winter. ;)

If you are local to the Albany Capital District there is a brewery called Nine Pin Cider Works which holds a yarn swap on the third Thursday of the month. It is advertised as bring yarn you would like to give away and pick up new yarn to refresh your stash as long as you buy a cider. They even invite you to stay and work on your project if you want. This month only it is being held on the last Thursday so I'll be bringing my designated driver and some yarn. Maybe I'll see you there. In the meantime, keep those needles clicking.
