Marsha’s Projects
Auckland Bound: by Maddie Mo. Finished. Used Alaskan Yarn Company DK in colorway Spruce.
Auckland Bound: by Maddie Mo. Finished. Used Hazel Knits Cadence DK in colorway Wonderland Trail.
Emotional Support Chicken: by Annette Corsino. I’ve knitted a bit on my chicken. Decided to make a rock climbing chicken for Ben. Found tiny carabiners online.
Sockhead Slouch Hat: by Kelly McClure. Using Done Roving Yarns Frolicking Feet in colorway Irish Moss. Hibernating.
Why Knot?: by Rachel Illsey. Using Weird Sisters Wool Emporium Carroll in colorway Westport Treasures. This project is on hold. I cast on and ripped out twice as the unusual stitch patterns made me completely confused. Hibernating.
Graphito: by Heidemarie Kaizer. Using Purls Before Swine Robusta in colorways Good Jeans (blue) and Toxic (pink). Cast on just before I left for New York. Got stuck on the brioche. Too much drinking and talking. Now that I’m home I’m back on track.
Ames Beanie: Stephanie Larson. Using Purls Before Swine Hometown Worsted in colorway Seaglass.
Kelly’s Projects
Finished Desert Lavender socks out of Smirligan’s yarn. I’m thinking about starting a new pair for watching the election coverage. Purl2W2 Coconut Tree.
I’ve split off the sleeves and finished the body of Graphito by Heidemarie Kaiser. I still have to try it on before I decide to start the bottom ribbing or knit it a little longer. The yarns are Seismic Yarns Butter Silk as the contrast yarn and Invictus Yarns Seraphic as the main yarn–both fingering weight.
I started the Maple Vest to have something to knit in the car for the reunion trip. Interesting pattern. I joined under the arms and then split again after about two inches. I’m all the way down to the ribbing on the front panel. Had to rip back a couple of rows this morning because I made a mistake on the cable crosses in one of the pattern repeats.
