You bet your Bibbe


Jane finished weaving in the ends on her Lux Adorna Knits Scarf (DK: 100% Cashmere, 140 yards). It's going off to the finisher. It measures 110" long!!!!

She started working on the Easy Folded Poncho in Juniper Moon Farm Zooey (DK: 60% Cotton, 40% Linen / Flax, 284 yards). She is concerned she will run out of yarn because she is modifying the size. She picked up a contrasting color, just in case.


Allison is changing up the stripes on her Matchmaker scarf. Yarn: Anzula Lunaris (Fingering: 80% Merino, 10% Stellina, 10% Cashmere, 425 yards.


She's getting a little anxious that she only has two projects on the needles. To calm her anxiety, she is going to cast on for the Sparkle Ridges Wrap in Artyarns Beaded Silk & Sequins Light and Artyarns Merino Cloud in The Wildflower colorway. Wow!

Nan was knitting her Streetscape shawl/scarf.


Mallory picked colors for the next stocking for one of her daughters, this will have different colors of angora snowflakes. 


Cornelia had the pieces of her customfit sweater well organized. 


While checking the measurements to the pattern, I noticed she was off by one inch on the front necklines of her cardigan. She had to rip back and knit 4 more rows more, then finish the neck shaping. In her customary style, she was a good sport about the whole thing. Yarn: Knitting Fever Painted Cotton (DK: 100% Cotton, 357 yards).


Eleanor worked the German short row pick-ups on Bibbe in The Fibre Co. Arranmore Light (DK: 80% Merino, 10% Silk, 10% Cashmere).


Eileen's Dentado scarf looks fabulous! She is using two different colorways of Artyarns Merino Cloud (Sport: 80% Merino, 20% Cashmere, 436 yards). I am definitely adding this to my queue and will use two (different) colors of Artyarns Ensemble Light that were intended for the Taj Wrap. I think I will enjoy this more.

Eleanor and Eileen stocked up on Knitcol (DK: 100% Washable Wool, 137 yards) to make the Stocking Cap F797.  Knitcol is a self-striping yarn it looks like faux-fair isle.
