Yay! Robin's Back

Robin was back in attendance with one finished baby blanket. The pink one above was knit with Encore Chunky. The pattern is from String.
This blue blanket is nearly complete. It was knit with Berroco Comfort Worsted, the pattern is Ann Norling # 38, the garter & brick pattern.
Michelle modelled her Cia lace sweater knit in Louet Kidlin. It has beautiful lace borders and cuff. After having a whole conversation with Lois about only knitting baby sweaters, Robin was completely taken with this sweater.

The last time Robin knit with mohair, it was not a happy experience. Michelle gave her the pattern and the leftover Kidlin yarn to try out the pattern and see if she liked the yarn.
Michelle had lots of leftover yarn from various blankets and sweaters that she has knit for her grandson. We discussed a mitered square blanket and were going to design one together. Then a customer came into Westport Yarns with a fantastic mitered squares blanket. The pattern is from Cottage Creations and is called Rambling Rows. Michelle is having a lot of fun with it.
Lois worked on a diagonal scarf and also the Chloe baby sweater.

Elizabeth continued work on her Wisteria Shawl by Kristin Omdahl. She explained to Michelle that when she decided to work on the shawl, she didn't realize that those four dots at the top of the pattern meant the level of difficulty, she thought it was decorative. No worries, she's up for the challenge.
