We loved having Leslie back. She has been busy with children and grandchildren. And, she’s been knitting up a storm! She’s finished a baby hat and sweater for a friend’s new baby boy and she knit a very cute and squishy bear.
Garter stitch with contrasting garter stitch yoke.
I love this little hat. The white edge is soft and fluffy.
This bear was so adorable that Linda decided she needed to knit one for her grandson.
The softest bear EVER!
Linda is still working on the blanket for her grandbaby that will be born in the fall. She is knitting the final strip (I think), then she’ll join them together and back the strips with fabric. Gonna be cute.
Blanket is coming together.
Mary’s tutu is slowly growing. She’ll have to step on it to get it finished by Labor Day. Right, Mary? I’m sure by next week it will be nearly finished.
A patriotic tutu. Never thought I’d write those words together.
Carol shipped off the tutus and crowns and has started on an entre-lac scarf. I’ve done one of these and the pattern is challenging at first, but once you have it, it’s easy! And it LOOKS so difficult that everyone will be very impressed. She’s using a Noro knock-off that feels softer than Noro. And cheaper, too, but still is 100% wool.
Looks like basket-weaving.
We enjoyed our time in the park, although we had to keep shifting our chairs as the sun chased us across the grass. Some other park denizens wandered by, too.
Honk, honk.
Next week, Linda has invited us to her lake house for lunch and knitting – and swimming, too. I’m looking forward to being on a road trip with my friends, and I’m looking forward to being on the lake for an afternoon. Thanks, Linda!
In the meantime, keep those needles blazing and enjoy the rain! It’s greatly needed.
