All swatched up and no place to go.


Diane brought lots of knits to share.  She chose a basic feather and fan blanket pattern for this variegated yarn. I'm not usually a fan (accidental pun, I'm going with it) of the feather & fan pattern, however, it looks really good with this yarn.


This was one of the yarns she brought back from New Zealand.


 She's going to knit a lacey hat with this Angora blend.


It knits up like a cloud.


Mary came prepared with many swatches.  This is Ultra Pima by Cascade Yarns (DK: 100% Cotton, 220 yards), she's going to knit Aggregate for the Westport Yarns knit-a-long.


She's going to knit my 'All wrapped up' capelet with Versa by Berroco (Bulky: 50% Acrylic/50% Cotton, 81 yards).


This is for a top down baby sweater that she's knitting with  Shepherd Worsted by by Lorna's Laces (Aran:100% Wool, 225 yards).


Her Log Cabin squares look great in Taiyo by Noro Taiyo (Aran: 40% Cotton/30% Silk/15% Nylon/15% Wool, 220). She's taking my class at Westport Yarns.


 Lois is knitting an Eyelet Cowl with Eco Duo by Cascade Yarns (Aran: 70% Alpaca, 30% Merino, 197 yards).


She is also knitting my 'All wrapped up' capelet with Versa by Berroco (Bulky: 50% Acrylic/50% Cotton, 81 yards).
