Knits

So much gorgeous knitting happening. 

Look at the beautiful February Lady sweater that Donna made for her daughter out of Miski.

I especially love the tag.

I am so proud of Mary - a new knitter - who just completed her first hat and scarf. Jeanine is modeling it for us:

Yesterday, Gladys brought in the baby blanket she made for a grandchild expected in January.  She used laceweight Dream in Color. Isn't it gorgeous?

And I made a decision.  I'm making the linings on Peter's mittens.

While it is extra work, I just don't think I could handle seeing those mittens everyday knowing that they weren't really finished.  As much as I appreciate the suggestion of a fleece lining, I just couldn't.  First, I don't know how to sew.  But, more importantly, a fleece lining prevents the wearer from feeling the yummy soft yarn.  Yes, I am a bit of a knitting geek that way.  Besides, I only had cable or fair isle projects going and needed some plain stst knitting in the loop so I'll have something a little easier to knit. 

The second mitten is about to the thumb.

Magic loop was a very good call for this project.  The stranding is much smoother, and it is knitting up even faster!
