May Show and Tell
Lynn J. brought many inspiring projects to show. She had knit some knitted/beaded necklaces some for herself and other for gifts. They were an assortment of colors and make wonderful gifts. She showed a small knitted/beaded bag that will be a wedding gift for a coworker-one of the necklaces will be the treasure inside! Berrocco cotton from Carole’s shop was knitted up into a lovely sweater in pink and white to wear to the coworkers wedding-it was being embellished with beads down the front to add special sparkle. Lynn plans to sew a long skirt to complete the outfit in a matching fabric .
Handwoven fabric done in oranges and other colors was shown next- this will be sewn into a shirt for her husband . What talent!!
Betsy showed dyed sock yarn from a class she took at Carole’s. She thought she used too much dye in the project admitting that she didn’t follow instructions, but the results were lovely!
She was working on a “mystery Shawl” on Ravelry where the directions were posted weekly knit in a cotton/cormo blend.
Betty Jean had a lovely alpaca/merino wrap jacket that she modeled. It was in a nice shade of blue and fit nicely. She was working on a top down sweater in a silk blend with cap sleeves.
Karen had finished a pair of socks using Cherry Tree Hill yarn in the color Birch.
Dawn was spinning her angora pink/wool blend. A friend in her Happy Hookers group of crocheters spoke up for it before it was done. She wants to make a shawl with it. She had a mystery grey blend and also an acrylic shawl to use up some of her stash.
Meg showed us a knitted merino/silk scarf-soft and lovely!
Trish was knitting summer socks in a corn fiber/elastic blend to try something new.
Carole was also working on the Raverlry “mystery” shawl in a merino/silk lace weight yarn.
I knit a helix scarf using a green/grey merino handspun. I also started another helix scarf using the Great Adirondack yarn that Carole had in vibrant colors with quick color changes. It is a wonderful yarn to work with!
Happy spinning and knitting-see you next month!
