Marsha’s Projects

Graphito: by Heidemarie Kaizer. Finished! Used Purls Before Swine Robusta in colorways Good Jeans (blue) and Toxic (pink).

Ames Beanie: Stephanie Larson. Using Purls Before Swine Hometown Worsted in colorway Seaglass. I was about to start the decreases when I noticed I had crossed one of the cables the wrong way. I need to rip back.

Socks: Using Regia 4-fadig by Arne & Carlos in colorway 03760. Finished first sock. Finished gusset and knitting foot of the second sock.

Morgan’s Pinwheels & Checks: Finished the third of four towels. I had hoped to be finished by this episode, but alas, life seldom goes as planned. 

The Weekender: by Andrea Mowry. Using Cascade 220 in colorway Wine. Did not get gauge with the suggested #9 needles. Went down to #8 and still off by ½ stitch. I think the fabric would be too dense going down to #7. Decided to make size #2 which, if the math is correct, will give me the suggested 10” of positive ease. Fingers crossed!

Weaving Studio: It’s a work in progress. I met with a weaver who answered my want ad in the Seattle Weavers Guild newsletter. She sold me a LeClerc loom bench which is working great. Plus five shuttles for making rag rugs.

Kelly’s Projects

Done with weaving on the fifth warp for the trailer curtains! Still need to wash, cut, and sew.

Started back on Graphito. Still knitting on the body for about 3 more inches.  It looks very similar to Marsha's since we both have blue as our main color and a contrast color that contains a lot of pink.

Winding a new, brightly colored warp for dishtowels.
