We’ve had temperatures in the high 90’s for a couple of weeks, so Linda graciously offered to host us in her air-conditioned home. We eagerly agreed. Thanks, Linda!
It felt wonderful to be out of the heat and in her comfortable house. All of us were knitting the same projects, except for Joan. Joan was knitting a HAT! Still all knitting – no purling allowed – but it was a lot of fun to see something on her needles besides a scarf. She finished it at the meeting so we got to see the end result. A beautiful hat, Joan!
Almost finished! Marylane looks on.
Love your hat, Joan!
Francy is nearly finished with her Monster pants. She grumbled that she’s been working on them for six weeks – with one or two weeks agonizing over the duplicate stitching – but she’s finally almost there.
One eye to go!
We were happy to see Michele. She’s spending most of her summer in Helena, so it was a treat to have her at our meeting. In Helena, she’s knitting a sweater for her sister, but here, she’s knitting a simpler pattern – the asymetrical scarf that she started a few weeks ago. We’ll see you in August, Michele!
Great to see you, Michele.
Linda continues to knit her short-row scarf. I have this pattern, I just don’t have the time. Someday, though. Someday!
Love the look of this scarf.
Marylane paused from knitting a sweater vest (round 2 of this pattern – the first result met an unfortunate end) to slip Joan’s work onto double-pointed needles. I love this chunky yarn.
What a nice sister.
And me? I’m still knitting my top-down green sweater. I haven’t made much progress during this heat. Not the weather to hold a lapfull of wool.
That’s all, Castoffs! We’ll try the park next week – it’s supposed to only be in the 80’s! It’ll seem like a reprieve from the heat, won’t it? Keep those needles blazing and I’ll see you under a tree next week.
