Well, no question about it, we did have snow, didn’t we? I hope it was the whole winter’s worth at one go so we don’t have to deal with that again! I also hope you had enjoyable knitting to do while you watched the snow fall. I got a few things finished, but I’m here to show you other people’s beautiful finished items!
First, I want to remind you that Lynne’s Beginner Crochet class is coming up on the Saturday the 13th. If you’ve ever wanted to try this craft, or need a refresher on the basics, there are a couple spots open. I do a bit of crochet and have had a hankering to do a project for the new baby that my niece is expecting. I love this little bunting:
and I would love to make this little African flower dog, done in fingering weight, and I have loads of sock yarn scraps:
I’m neither a confident nor fast crocheter so either project will require a time commitment, but I think they’re worth it, and I know who to ask if I run into trouble, since Lynne has done at least one outstanding African Flower project from Heidi Bears (and we’ve got the owl to prove it!)
Okay, on with your projects!
Beautiful shawl knit by David Ritz from a pattern by Josh Ryks called Stained.
Carol Slifka and Kim Lally both wore their Easy Folded Ponchos into the shop, both in Shibui Silk Cloud and Cima, and both looking wonderful!
Virginia Griffith took Karen’s Moon Shadows shawl class and made this gorgeous accessory.
Jettie Hunt’s version of Moon Shadows is equally stunning!
Anne Alderman made this fun version of the Dr. Who scarf by special request from her daughter-in-law:
Karen Walter made this wonderful All the Shades of Truth, designed by Laura Aylor, from all the natural shades of Herriott Fine:
and then made this gorgeous gradient cowl from the leftovers:
Sue Marshall loves knitting small things for all the members of her family. From Top left: socks in Noro Silk Garden Sock, then hat and two versions of fingerless mitts, all (I think) in Manos Maxima:
This wonderful cowl, knit by Tracee Yawger from Wonderland Yarns’ Cheshire Cat gradient pack, is Ann Weaver’s design Yipes Stripes!
You remember Donna Hain’s massive scarf from a couple weeks ago – it’s well worth repeating!
David Lutz finished this scarf in his favorite colors – red, white and blue!
And last, but not least, Rebecca Botvin made this adorable shark hat for her son Asher, and is currently making one to match for husband Blake:
You guys are freakin’ awesome!!!!
