Wow! What a busy week. Seems that someone let out the secret of how wonderful knitting can be and those new and returning knitters are ready for some fiber therapy. Sorry for the lack of blog updates, but with all these wonderful knitters around, it is hard to make myself break away and sit at the computer.
Check out the impromptu gathering on Saturday -
I neglected to get a good shot of the other side of the room, so I apologize for those who were left out of the picture. Thanks to everyone who came to knit and enjoy a rainy afternoon - it was lovely.
Pam had me in awe with her finished - and blocked! - Seascape shawl. She used Hempathy, which has an incredible drape - something you never would guess from a hemp based yarn.
She has also been whipping out those Christmas gifts. Look at the gorgeous cowls-
Sandy is making a beautiful wrap for her mother out of Cascade's Baby Alpaca Chunky-
And I've been a bit obsessed with the Cabled Ornaments from Knitting Daily. So far, I've made 6.
They are super easy to make (as long as you know how to cable) and make great gifts! The pattern can be found at knittingdaily.com . I used Jo Sharp's DK wool and can get about 3 ornaments from one ball.
Saturday also saw the arrival of patterns from Figheadh Yarnworks. I love the cablework!
Time to head to the shop. I'm hoping that today brings a very special delivery...
