Nancy was wearing her Neck Down Hooded Tunic by Knitting Pure and Simple. Nancy used a variegated Cascade Alpaca. Nancy shared that she really enjoyed knitting this because the instructions were well written making this one of the easiest projects. (Nancy is a prolific knitter and she thought this would suit a newer knitter)
Nancy was also putting the finishing touches on a shawl that she is making up for her mother. The Ethereal Grace Stole is turning out beautifully knitted in the Kollage Creamy yarn. Creamy is made from 80% Milk and 20% Cotton. You have to feel this yarn to believe how soft it is and telling someone that the yarn is made of Milk will make any project a conversational piece.
Jeanne is working on a Rowan Pattern - Nessa using a Felted Tweed doubled. It is working up quickly and Jeanne reports that the yarn she substituted with is working out great. (Finally she is knitting something for herself!)
Lori is modeling the Just Enough Ruffles Scarf she made last Saturday out of just two balls of the Zaol - Lady Cashmere. She made it in one day and the color is so vibrant and stunning against a black sweater. After knitting the scarf Lori used Soak and the scarf softened more and really drapes nicely.
Suzie (that would be me) is going to copy Lori and make a scarf just like it for a gift. Who can't use a ONE DAY project in their arsenal as a backup for a last minute gift?
Stay tuned! We have new products to report on in the next post.......you are going to love the Spring colors that are popping up all over the shop!!
