We met at Linda’s house on a rainy, mushy, cloudy day. Thank goodness we made up for the gloom inside with wine, apple torte and sharing our great knitting projects. Linda made a fabulous apple torte with a cream cheese-like filling. She sent me the recipe:
- The Granny Smith apples in this tart were amazing!

If I have to make a ball by hand, I just use my, uh, hand. This looks pretty cool.
Linda is knitting a baby sacque for a charity auction. It is the same pattern that Michele used earlier in the year. Linda is trying to decide what accent color to use for the edging. Pink? Brown? Bright blue? I can’t wait to see what color she uses.
Cute baby jacket
Mary brought her hat that she knitted for her little friend JoJo. Somehow she forgot how to crochet an edging on it, even though she showed ME how to do that a few weeks ago. Her memory could have been affected by blowing up her oven over Christmas. Zzzzap! She just got another one, though, so her memory might miraculously reappear with her ability to bake again.
A hat for JoJo
Michele is knitting a squirrel using a Fiber Trends pattern that is adorable. It’s for her husband, Joel, for Valentine’s Day. Awww!
The blob that will be a squirrel!
Right now the squirrel isn’t really a squirrel, but it will be!
Marylane was there with her variegated yarn that she’s using to make a scarf like the one that Michele showed us last week. She told me that when she gets tired of knitting the scarf, she is knitting tiny little mittens to give away for ornaments next Christmas. I’ll get a photo of them next week.
Scarf!
I am still working on my gray vest. I’m almost to the V-neck separation on the front. I should be able to work on it a lot this weekend during the NFL playoffs – my favorite television program to knit to – Go Packers! Boo Patriots!
Deb helped me display my vest
I forgot to find out what Deb was knitting for her next project! Sorry, Deb, I’ll find out next week at Marylane’s house.
Julie had used some odds and ends of Noro yarn to knit a multi-colored, very cool, fez-shaped hat with little I-cords on the top. We all loved how the colors blended into each other.
Hey! Where's the tiny little motorcycle?
I don’t know about you all, but I’m getting very tired of the rainy, unseasonably warm weather. Hopefully, by the time we go to Marylane’s house next time, we’ll have less rain and (gee, I hate to say this, but…) some more snow. At least the snowshoeing will be better.
In the meantime, keep those needles blazing and have fun knitting. I’ll see you soon!
