Back to work

Last week I was away attending my grandson's high school graduation but I'm back now and ready to continue working. The Stitch Angels updated me on all their projects so let's dive in and check out their progress.

Allison started work on a new square with a new yarn. The green is softer than the yellow which she had been using so it's easier on her hands.

Athena had to rearrange her work so the colors alternated. She didn't like having two circles of the same color beside each other in the same row.

We worked on untangling the yarn together.

I worked a bit on the Dexter Vest so now it looks like it has a shoulder and V neck starting.

Tina knitted a pair of socks and likes them so much but she hesitated about keeping them for herself. Barbara and I convinced her it's ok! LOL!

They have a neat cable detail down either side of the instep.

Bob's knitted blanket is coming along nicely.

And Peggy reached the end of the front of her sweater and is binding off stitches.

Barbara finished one sleeve on her Sunnyside Cardigan. The pattern includes more than one version of the design and she has chosen the cables at the raglan and button bands. The picot edging adds a sweet touch to the bind off.

This is the hat Gail is knitting, the pattern which is from...

this book.

And these are her choice of colors!

Edgar keeps his head down and works diligently on his blanket.

Yvonne confessed that she is getting bored with her yellow blanket. She is what we refer to as a "monogamous knitter", one who knits on only one project at a time until it is completed. A few of us admitted to having several projects going at once so when boredom strikes we always have something else to spice thing up.

Debra, one of us who admitted to working on several projects at once, worked on a Knitted Knocker and then proceeded to pull two more WIPs from her knitting bag. There are several different versions of the pattern for the prosthetic available on Ravelry.

Jim's scarf has a whole amoeba shape thing going on. But he's having fun!

Gerry is making a crochet for her grandson using the school colors he requested.

Pat's blanket is nearing completion.

Blankets take patience and perseverance to stick with the large size.

And if you don't have patience when you start a blanket, you will certainly develop it by the end of the project.

Have a great week and keep those needles clicking!
