Knit One, Crochet Too.

Sherry is creating her own crocheted wrap in Tahki North Pole Yarn. It's a super bulky yarn that she's working up on a larger hook. It's really soft. She's alternating crocheting into the front loop/back loop to make the shells stand out.
She's also making a summer wrap in Blue Heron Rayon Metallic and Tahki Cotton Classic. She decided she liked hdc in front/back loops. The colors really pop.
Elizabeth wore her Artyarns Kaleidoscope crocheted scarf in Cashmere 1 ply. It's truly lovely.

Sunaina is making golf clubs for her father using my Fore! Golf Club Cover pattern. They are coming out great. The intarsia colorwork has been a bit of a challenge, and she's rising to it.
Here is one of the belts that she made for a gift.
Elaine realized that she had started a vest in the wrong needle size and had to rip it all out. Linda was there to soften the blow.
Linda is continuing to work on finishing the sweater her mother started. I did some forensic knitting and I think I've come close to what the original sleeve shaping was. Did I mention there was no pattern with the sweater? When this sweater is done, Linda is going to review the state of other works in progress to see what else she can finish. It's really cool that she can do this.
Danielle came today, we were really happy to see her. She's making the Suss Unisex Baby Pullover as a gift.

Elizabeth swatched for a Vintage Pink Cardigan in Blue Sky Alpaca & Silk in a soft pink. The fit of the sweater looks as if it has almost a negative ease. She's probably going to knit one size up to give it some ease.
