Great knitting meeting this week!
Tricia took a wash cloth pattern and extended it into a scarf!
Elizabeth worked on an afghan in what she calls “granny strips”–her version of Granny squares, except they are long strips. The new purple strip will soon have a light lavender center. She will probably edge these in black.
Lois is also making an afghan, with two long center panels. It’s easier when you make the same thing, two-at-a-time, she says.
The cats interfered with my new project, a knitted blanket from the Aran and Celtic Children’s book. One block at a time, in Rowan felted tweed yarn, with intarsia alphabet letters in each block. Ethel showed me how to weave in the intarsia loops that are formed on the back. (I took a little break from the Sophie Tunic—I’ll be back…) To see Martin Storey’s Fall/Winter brochure from Rowan look at this you-tube vid here.
So what’s on your needles this fine summer night?
You didn’t note my ignored knitting sitting to the side on the picture – also, I wasn’t the only individual playing with a phone so I don’t feel so naughty now. I did accomplish something by taking pictures to go with future numbers to put in the phone and learned some pointers about da phone.
🙂 –added a reference to the knitting in the picture caption 😀
Hee, hee. “Ignored” knitting.
