Saturday was a double knitting day!
I met the morning knitting group at Panera Bread in Centerville and then went on to the afternoon group at Dorothy Lane Market in Springboro.
There were twelve of us at Panera and there were lots of finished projects, as well as, ones that were well on the way to being completed.
On the wall at the end of the row of tables we put together were these wiggly eyes watching us! So funny that someone would stick them up there.
Karen was wearing a very pretty shawlette knit from a skein of everything-but-the-kitchen-sink. It had so much texture with all the different kinds of yarn .
Patrice showed the sweater and hat she finished for her granddaughter. So cute! I loved the buttons.
Maryanne was wearing a cardigan knit in my favorite colors!! Shades of olive green! Great job!
Lynn was almost finished with a hat and scarf set. The wool was SO soft and will keep the recipient super toasty.
Pat was crocheting an afghan for her granddaughter.
At the afternoon group, Sara was just about finished with a precious little jumper for her niece. she wanted to try it on her before sewing on the buttons - she might have to make the straps a little longer.
Diana was doing a little test knitting and was doing a fabulous job.
Lots of socks were underway around the table.
I worked on the Lace Coverlet, an adult sock, and a pair of baby socks.
I finished one of Rachael's sock this morning and need to cast on for the second one.
I started the baby socks Thursday night and knit them two at a time. I loved this method except for the twisting of the yarn coming from both ends of the same skein. The fact that I had two finished socks out-weighed the yarn tangles. The pattern is Plymouth Yarn P602 for Kid's Socks. The pattern gives instructions for Infant, 2, 4, 6, and 8. I did size 2. I used the yarn the pattern was written for - Jelli Beenz by Plymouth. I got the pair out of 1 skein and could get a third sock. If I bought a second skein, I could knit 3 pairs. At $3.99, this was a good knit.
Outside this morning, everything was sporting a layer of ice. Even the birdfeeder was decorated. I hear we're in for more icy weather this week.
Stay warm and KNIT ON!
