Second May knitting retreat - final day
On Friday we spent the day trying to finish off projects for the show and tell.
It has been a week of hats and reverse knitting (= unravelling!) But everyone has managed to produce a lovely mix of work.
Our two American guests have been working in crochet all week, Karen has made pan scrubs
a purse and started on a scarf
Sindy has been rolling out the hats (Desert Sun Hat by Julie King) two of them for me! and a bag
and here we are modelling the hats
Sue has been knitting a fabulous cushion cover from the book 'Elements' by Alison Crowther-Smith and Donna Jones
and has started on a the Silver Dollar shawl by Joanna Heriott
Rhona has finished a lovely fairisle hat Da Crofters Kep by Wilma Malcolmson
and started the Hege shawl by Julie knits in Paris
Lillias has been working on this beautiful fairisle snood Break cowl by Sheila Halcrow knitted in Laxdale Yarn, you can order the kit here
Sandra has finally finished a huge lace wrap that she started here a few years ago
and has finished the second sleeve of a sweater
Kate has finished a x-stitch and made up a round bag kit that she bought at the exhibition on Sunday
and started a shawl kit that she also bought on Sunday from Laine Select
Jean has started the ZickZack scarf
and finished a donkey, isn't he gorgeous!
and I have made a start on my Triplett shawl by Linnea Ornstein which I am loving, knitted in some stash Rowan Felted Tweed and my skein of Cowgirl Blues merino twist
What a lovely week with a fabulous group of ladies.
