Calann's granddaughters wanted cowls just like her Fallen Halo. We adjusted the cast on for the girls who are 4 and 7. She is also knitting one for her daughter. Can you guess what color belongs to who? Let's just say I bonded with the four year old over color choices. ;)
She will be using the same yarn the pattern calls for, Artyarns Cashmere 5 (Aran: 100% Cashmere, 102 yards) and Artyarns Cashmere Glitter (DK: 100% Cashmere plied w/ metallic, 170 yards).
Her grandson wanted a different cowl so we did a Ravelry search and found the Snowbunny Hat, Cowl & Mitts. She'll be knitting it in Cascade 220 Superwash Sport (DK/Sport: 100% Superwash Wool, 136 yards). Calann had to knit a mock circular gauge for the cowl.
Just as we thought, Eleanor is knitting the second sleeve of her her Textures Cardigan in Tahki Rosa (Aran:
100% Cotton, 93 yards). There is a very good chance she'll be wearing this next week. (No pressure, Eleanor.)
Cornelia finished the pieces of her Customfit and got it ready for the finisher. I am so proud of her, this is the third sweater she has completed this year.
We discussed several books we really enjoyed:
From Eleanor: Red Tails in Love and Maisie Dobbs
From Me: Chasing Fireflies and In the Unlikely Event
