Breakfast Club



Betsy knit up two more Rock the Pompom Hats in madelinetosh Tosh Chunky (Bulky: 100% Merino, 165 yards).


She knit up Debbie Bliss Classic Cardigan in Baby Cashmerino Tonals (Sport: 55% Merino, 33% Acrylic, 12% Cashmere, 137 yards). The buttons are coffee beans!


Diane is knitting The Easy Bulky One in Brooklyn Tweed Quarry (Bulky: 100% Wool - Targhee-Columbia, 200 yards). Neither of us can believe how quickly she's knit this. She only bought the yarn at the last class ~ last month. I guess the sweater is living up to its name, EASY.


Maddie is living the Super Bulky Knitting Dream.  


She's knitting this sweater from a magazine in the '60's! Yarn: Mirasol Ushya (Super Bulky: 98% Merino, 2% Nylon, 114 yards).


Next on the needles is the Purl Soho Classic Knit Jacket knit with Purl Soho Lanecardate Feltro (Super Bulky: 75% Wool, 25% Angora, 98 yards). As it's a top down sweater, she kept trying it on to make sure she knit it long enough. The village (knitters around the table) were happy to weigh in.


Lastly, #15 Chunky Vest. She is loving knitting with big needles. She'll have ample time to wear these bulky knits given the recent March weather.


Meg is beginning to make peace with the colors of the Building in Color Afghan she is knitting for her mother. We all loved how this strip was coming out.


Last month she brought her recently St. Brendan Sweater in The Fibre Company Arranmore (Aran: 80% Merino, 10% Cashmere goat, 10% Silk, 175 yards). It's a great looking sweater!


Jayne finished her first hat, Simple & Easy Hat for the Whole Family (gathered version ~ knit in the round). Yarn: Plymouth Select Worsted Merino Superwash (Worsted: 100% Merino, 218 yards).


Jennifer shared her finished Ohra shawl


Harry kept me company until this blog post was done. Thankfully he had the table to rest is head on while he waited.
