Here is Michelle's toe up sock from the Knitting Central Sock Club. The pattern is Chutes and Ladders by Danniknits. We spent time on M1 (make one) and then there was an unfortunate incident involving a misreading of the heel flap. Major bummer, she took the same part out a couple of times. The yarn is Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock yarn.
She's knitting another special blanket from Mimi for her grandson to kind of copy the first one. The pattern is the same, Ann Norling's crib blanket pattern "Big Blue Blocks".
The back of Michelle's husband's vest (from the book "No Sheep for You") is nearly done. The pattern stands out much better since she took it out and redid it. The Plymouth Mainland knits up beautifully.
Robin raced the clock to finish this Flap Happy Hat to give to her niece. I really love the pink/brown combo and Filatura Di Crosa Zara yarn is another winner.
Robin finished the back of the Blue Sky Baby Hoodie she's knitting in Tahki Torino. The different shades of blue work well together.

Mary zipped in at the end with the latest Travelling Scarf. This one is in different blues with a request of cables from the owner of the scarf to be. It got a little wonky in the middle with a really bulky yarn and wider gauge. Mary found a nice shade of Berroco Comfort to match. She's going to knit the same cable she's knitting the "His/Hers Cabled Hat & Fingerless gloves" by Lynn Wilson Designs.
I began work on a new Flap Happy Hat Sample knit in Tahki Tweedy Alpaca. It's a bulky yarn and it's really soft.
I love that Mac Photo booth for last minute quick pix!
