I’m going to show you some wonderful customer finished objects in a minute but first, let me remind you about our yarn-bomb the benches with cat hugs project. We’re starting slow – I know it’s hard to knit when the weather is so gorgeous but seriously – in 2 hours you can have a hug done! I want to see our basket filling up!
Okay, nagging is done for today. I can cross that off my to-do list. The other things on my list include pay bills, buy groceries, do laundry, rip out a new sweater I started and after 32 very long rows discovered I had not been increasing in all the places I was supposed to. Frankly, nagging you about cat hugs was the most fun thing on my list for today. It’s all downhill from here. Poor moi!
Okay, here are some beautiful projects to lift my spirits and encourage us all:
First, we haven’t seen much of David lately (although he sent us a beautiful Easter Egg cake)
but he has been knitting like crazy. He finished this beautiful cabled sweater:
and these two beautiful lace shawls:
This was all in course of 1 – 2 weeks – amazing!
Heather Christie also amazed us by knitting up this adorable vest in no time:
Jill Pelchar loved this last lonely skein of MadelineTosh Merino Light in Calligraphy and made it into this pretty version of Hitchhiker (a perennially popular pattern on Ravelry.)
Marci Frey finished her Boxy, to much fanfare from all of us. It takes patience and persistence and determination and commitment, all at once and in sequence, to finish Boxy, an oversized pullover in fingering weight yarn!!
Looks great, and I love the color on Marci.
Linda Seifarth is making these gorgeous little beaded bags for gifts. This one is not strictly a Finished Object yet, but it was so pretty, I had to show you. You can see how many beads had to be threaded onto the yarn. Even half-done, this is a weighty little bag, very luxurious.
Last but not least, Martha Van Kouwenberg made these fabulous wigs from many, many different yarns. They are for a stage production and are amazing!
Wow, right?
