Stitch and Chat

We welcomed Katie into our group on Wednesday. She teaches Cello, Violin, and Viola. Every time I teach someone to knit, they come up with their own interpretation of how to hold the needle and how to remember the long-tail cast-on. For Katie, it was thinking of the "bow hold" when holding the needle for casting on. I love that! She took to knitting right away and had some pretty variegated yarn to knit a scarf with.

Having finished her first project, a cheerful yellow blanket, Claudia started the Daffodil bag right away in Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Chunky. She also plans on starting a simple baby sweater.
Robin's bootie began to take shape as a result of the short rows and it is adorable! She plans on making her Daffodil bag in Cashmerino Chunky as well.
Mary was onto the gusset of her second sock. She also began a silk scarf knit in Tilli Tomas yarns and pattern. We had to play around with the pattern in a plain yarn to get the feel of it. It's going to be beautifu.

She also finished her Ariel poncho, key word being poncho. :) She forgot it was a poncho, sewed it up halfway and wondered what was wrong with it. We pinned it around and it looks great!
