Now that the hectic holidays are over, the local knitting crowd can breathe a sigh of relief and start working on those projects for themselves that they pushed aside in favor of holiday gifts. Everyone except Mary, who put us to shame with at least one Christmas gift completed for next year!!!!!!!
The crowd was large and joyous last night and many had projects to share. Patti finished a gorgeous sweater out of Louisa Harding angora.
De with her completed Hempathy sweater knit on US 3 needles!!
Meg and the happy kid sweater going to a very lucky little girl. Meg used Lorna’s Laces Shepherd Worsted.
Karen is almost done with the entrelac scarf from our class:
Trina is working on a beautiful lace shawl from the book Scarf Style:
And, despite all that is currently in my knitting bag, I couldn’t resist the urge to knit a hat in Lorna’s Hawaii colorway. This is what I accomplished by staying up too late again:
I also gave up the hoodie cardigan to Isabella for awhile. I got so many questions about it, I thought it should be up as a store model for a bit so people can check it out, try it on, etc... . I have to thank Debbie for the inspiration to knit it. She had been traveling and discovered this pattern in a local yarn shop. It is actually supposed to be jacket length, but their customers had been cropping it at the waist. I did the same and changed the cuffs and hem from garter stitch to a K2P2 rib. It is so incredibly snuggly. Bec actually wore it for half the evening last night, and as we closed, she played with color combos to make her own version.
