Robin, Mary and I met on Friday

Lenore popped in for a quick pattern intervention.

Mary is truly in the home stretch of her mitered squares vest.
Mary just kept pulling projects out of her magic bag! First her vest, then we review her crochet in advance of the two crochet classes she's taking with me at Knitting Central. She began another pair of socks too. Next up, sweaters for the men in her life and a much bigger magic bag!

Robin has been working steadily on a cardigan from an Ann Norling pattern for crew necks and cardigans in different sizes and gauges. Well, she was motoring right along and was ready to talk about the second front when we realized that instead of knitting the back and the left front, she had knit two backs! Thinking fast on our feet we realized that if she switched to making a crew neck she was right on track, no ripping involved, just keep knitting! Yeah! We were quite happy with ourselves.

As I'm writing this Sunday, I can share with you that I did in fact finish the "last minute bolero" two hours before she had to wear it. It was a great success!The following picture was approved for blogging. Phew!

I love Mary's mitered squares vest. Way to go, Mary! And Pam, the bolero is beyond adorable. Nice work!
