Knit by Patti, felted by Laura, lined by Jan.

Busy Lady


Q.Where does a Mom of three small children find the time to knit for herself this beautiful Design Source wrap done in Creative Focus Chunky?

A. Between midnight and 2am!!

That's a love of knitting...or is it???

Sisters Sweaters


Carolyn B. made these adorable sweaters for her granddaughters. She borrowed from an old pattern and reworked the sizes for her growing girls.

Great Job!

Come Monday

Hooray! This Monday 9/25 is Manos Monday!!!!
It seems like forever since we have all meet for a Manos Monday. Dont' forget we will be discussing The Memory Keepers Daughter. After the discussion a selection for the next book will be made, bring your recommendations. Can't wait to see how the 15 Easy Pieces is coming along for those knitting the sweater. Christmas is just around the corner so those working hard to finsh the afghan for a gift this is a great time to get motivated.

Zig Zag


Another beautiful sweater. Janis stumbled upon this pattern while leafing thru Rowan Magazine Number 27. Knit in Sierra (cotton/wool blend), this timeless sweater "Jefferson" was designed by Kim Hargreaves. The simple combination of knits and purls creates the lovely zig zag effect.

Great work, Janis!

more finshed projects!

Robbyn has completed her Manos block of the month afghan, it truly is beautiful. Amy, Robbyn and Maggie put the fringe on Friday afternoon for a photo op. Robbyn is now back to her Fair Isle with a goal to finish in October. Robbyn is a new knitter, taking her first class in December. Way to go Robbyn!
Joan, one of our long time knitters has finshed her Judith, Long and Short of it. She used Seirra and the color is a soft peach/coral. The cropped sleeves look great and perfect for the upcoming fall weather. Wonderful job Joan.

First Sweater


Debbie has completed her first sweater, a beautiful top down raglan she knit for her husband. A man's sweater is a daunting challenge, the size is much larger than other sweaters we knit. Debbie has done a wonderful job!

In other news lots of swatches are on display for the cable knit along, starts Sept. 15.

The sock club is building so don't forget to sign up. For those out of towners that are reading this blog, you are invited to join as well. These items are shipped as part of the membership fee so all orders are welcome.

The finishing touches were put on the newsletter last night so look for that in the near future. The class list is also now posted on the website

Keep dry and safe this weekend!
