Here it is, thank you, I love you.


Eileen brought in an afghan she finished. She pulled the wrong thread and got into trouble when she tried to fix it. She handed it to me and said, "Here it is, thank you, I love you." 😊💜 It's nice to be appreciated.


She's been knitting away on her Mixology Scarf in Baah! La Jolla (Fingering: 100% Wool, 400 yards).


There are Weekender sweaters everywhere. Yarn: Juniper Moon Farm Neve (Worsted: 100% Cotton, 222 yards). Nan and Eleanor are knitting theirs in the team color, purple.


Allison is knitting hers in green, this is not a good representation of the color.


 Elisa in a cream color. Everyone is knitting up to the armholes before our next class.


Eleanor has put a lot of time into Bibbe knit with The Fibre Co. Arranmore Light (DK: 80% Merino, 10% Silk, 10% Cashmere).


Jane has been working on her Double Basketweave Infinity Scarf in Blue Sky Alpacas Alpaca Silk (Sport: 50% Silk, 50% Alpaca, 146 years). The recipient is petite so we discussed how much wider she should knit it. Historically she has knit it approximately 1/3 bigger than it is.  Calann and I felt she should call it quits now.


Mallory's Snowflake stocking is progressing. She also has a new grandchild! Congratulations! Will she be able to knit another stocking by this Christmas??? Place your bet.


Calann as been working on her Building Blocks Afghan in Plymouth Select Worsted Merino Superwash.


She is swatching for the #01 Long Cardigan with stash yarn.


Elisa's been working on the Vacanza Scarf in Berroco Medina (DK: 37% Cotton, 36% Acrylic, 27% Rayon, 295 yards). She's almost at the halfway point where she can begin decreasing. Her plan is to wear this scarf with her Weekender sweater.


Cornelia has finished the fronts, back, and one sleeve of her "Cairo Sunset" customfit sweater. Yarn: Yarn: Knitting Fever Painted Cotton (DK: 100% Cotton, 357 yards).

 
Harry (and Joe) visited me at work. It's nice when your dog matches the carpet!
