Spring could be here. We have flowers coming up, trees budding out and the high schoolers are wearing their shorts, no matter what the temperature is. That’s a sure sign of spring, blue knees and all.
The Castoffs met at Leslie’s house and did more talking than knitting. We heard about Linda’s latest trip to Chicago to visit her brother. I think she pulled out her knitting, but I can’t swear to it.
I finished something! No, not my neverending poncho. I finished a half-linen-stitch cowl. Hey, it’s a finished product, right? I like the stitch and color.
Cowl to wear next winter or give away.
Michele’s sister, Carol, joined us. She and Michele have had a great visit and Carol’s had perfect weather while she’s been in Montana. She brought a knitting project that she started about 12 years ago! We all have one of these. It’s a to-be-felted bag. Not sure how much she knitted because we were pelting her with questions. We talked a lot about the Amish – Carol lives close to Amish country.
Michele’s sister, Carol.
Michele has been planning, planning, planning about her next projects. She and Carol must’ve done a lot of shopping because she showed us two patterns with yarn – one for herself and one for Carol.
Cardigan for Carol?
I believe the cardigan above is for Carol. Love the yarn!
This looks like a Michele sweater.
This definitely looks like a Michele sweater. I like the detail on the front and sleeves.
Francy is still working on the Monster pants. She was fretting about doing the duplicate stitches on the bottom, but we advised (ahem, we shouted at her) to finish the other leg before she started worrying about the finishing stitches. I didn’t take another photo and I’ll wait until she’s actually finished. So there!
Francy decided to play with Lucy instead of knit.
The sun streamed into the room and we laughed and had fun. Spring beckons – can knitting in the park be far behind?
Until then, keep those needles blazing, Castoffs. We meet at Linda’s house next time. See you then!
