We met for the first time of the summer in Woodland Park. Yay! The sun was shining, the geese were quacking (or their goosey equivalent) and the wind was blowing. Aah, summertime. We brought our chairs and our knitting and shared our projects with each other.
Carol knitted up a storm last week. She is ready to pick up and knit a sleeve. She tried on her sweater and loves the length of it. When she blocks, she won’t have to stretch it. Always a good thing. I’m feeling the pull of knitting a cardigan.
It’ll be ready for fall!
Linda is knitting a little girl sweater using a kimono pattern that she’s used before. It’s a tried and true winner.
Pretty pink kimono.
Leslie’s shawl is growing and her yarn stash is decreasing. This is a very creative, pretty garment. She’s making it up as she goes, using a drop stitch pattern here; a yo holey pattern there. Very nice, Leslie.
Gonna be big and hug-able.
Mary is finishing a couple of items for her new granddaughter, Adela. She just has to add the duck’s eyes to Adela’s hooded towel, and she made a companion dishcloth with a little ducky on it. She thought the duck looked a little like a loon, but the baby probably won’t notice.
Just needs some eyes.
Cute duck washcloth.
While we were sitting in the park, I finished my Swirl Hat – finally – and everyone wanted to try it on. It’s close-fitting but comfortable.
Don’t know if I’m going to keep it for myself or not.
Looked cute on Leslie.
Mary liked it.
I liked it on Linda, too.
Linda and I compared toes – it must be summertime if we’re getting pedicures. Mine are the darker one.
Summertime and the toeseys are free!
Michele was there, but I didn’t get a good closeup of the seed-stitch scarf that she’s working on.
Michele and Linda chillin’ by the lake.
Woodland Park will be our place to knit from now until the cold wind blows. If the weather is yucky rainy, come to my house instead. Until next week in the park, keep those needles blazing and keep your fingers crossed (but not at the same time) that the rain stays away, Castoffs.
