Group projects:
We now know that our group knitting pattern and project is going probably to relate to making the lovely across-the -body-bags that Carmen makes. This gives everyone a chance to learn to make the ever-functional Granny Square to use up extra yarn in a fantastic and usable way. Stay tuned for details!
Free basic granny square pattern (thanks Purl Soho!) BRING AN I HOOK.
Woobling: size 4.0 mm/g hook and worsted weight (4) yarn. Basic penguin or the basic chick pattern (free)
ABBA’s Sock yarn cowl: free Ravelry download: bring a D hook!
What's On My Hooks and Needles:
Finished:
First, I had to learn some Tunisian crochet for the strap.
Strap - 98 rows or about 28”. Then I crocheted 5 stitches across each end of the bad and crocheted the d-ring onto each end. And then I clipped the clip to the D and finished!
In Progress:
Stash toss 2024 (25 in versus 47 out)
Lakeside cardigan : Remaining: 2 sets of front panels, each is 2x2, weaving those ends, attaching, then major remaining seams.
Vestuary24: finished the back! Working up the front.
Dizzy Blondes:
Strategy: a new skill every summer
AW shoot!: cycling along at 40 mins/day on my bike/desk ("FitDesk"). About 4 miles per day.
