Where Hands Create.

Awesome August

Wendy Solberg - Sunday, August 14, 2011

The middle of August has already arrived, and it is still hot and dry.  However, what a great excuse to stay in the cool air conditioning to knit!   I don't think I am the only one with this idea.  Last night at our Saturday Night Stitches, Bobbie and Pam arrived with their finished loot from this past two weeks - and the projects were LOVELY!


Pam (on the left) made this gorgeous Iro vest (6 skeins) that was a nice and simple garter stitch lovely.  The picture doesn't really show how striking the look was (with the sandles that perfectly matched).  Pam is also holding her finished garment from our Got Tosh Knitalong; she made the Live Oak Shawlette from the current Knitscene Magazine in Tosh Sock.

Now Bobbie has also been a busy knitter!  She is the first to compete her Corinne sweater in Tosh DK in the Terra colorway.  She is wearing the Vertical Ruffle Tank in Ty Dy cotton; so cute!   Lastly, she put together the Pleiades shawl in String Theory bamboo blend fingering.

Overall not bad for a two week run of knitting!  (BIG smile!)

Other than knitting and having a great time just loving life - all is smooth!  Obviously Laurel is working hard.  Here is a snap of her at the end of a busy week!
