I got this from a kit. I made it mainly just to learn the feather and fan pattern, which makes the pretty scalloped edge. It's made of very soft lightweight cotton, so it will be perfect for its intended use. Thankfully, I don't anyone personally right now who needs a chemo cap, so I'll just donate it to Overlake hospital. (They collect and distribute them there).
STRIPED SOY WOOL HATI heart the soy wool yarn. It's soft and has a really nice texture. It comes in solids and different self-striping colorways. I want to knit them all. This one is called geranium. Just one ball makes a warm, attractive yet unfussy, hat. Me likey!
LINEN STITCH SCARF
Last summer I went to the Mariner's Stitch and Pitch night with Jackie, Jenny and Sandy, and 'twas there I scored the materials for this lovely scarf. The happy memories are one (1.) good reason to love this scarf. The other reasons are 2. soft! 3. warm! 4. pretty! It took a very long time to knit because it is made of fine merino sock yarn. We're talking about 456,974,374,364 gazillion little stitches here.
Was it worth it? Yes indeed it was.
STRIPEY SOCKS
These are the second pair of socks I've made. I gave the first ones to my Ma because she loves the colors (turquoises and browns). Now Ma and I have cute feet when we go hiking together!PINWHEEL BABY QUILT
Here is Sara's friend Jazmine with her baby daughter Isaya. This was Sara's very first quilting project. I showed her what to do, and she took off running. We whipped it out in a 3 day marathon before she returned to school for winter quarter. My Ma got sucked in by the third day, and we had some wonderful 3 generation chick bonding time in my upstairs sewing room.
We made the whole thing from scraps. The little mommy was delighted with it! I think Baby Isaya likes it, too.
Beth Kahn, you producer you! Love your knitted projects & the baby quilt. Jenny's home from work today, not feeling so chipper, but well enough to work on her latest pair of socks. We've all had a gnarly cold around our hacienda this week. I've recovered more than Jim and Jenny so far, although I'm loathe to brag, as history has borne out my sole superstition to be valid. Witness the cold sore story. So, I retract saying I'm doing better. Besides, I have caught Marjorie's pink eye, so that means I'm not doing better, just doing "different". I am on meds for my malady & will not rub my eye at all during the retreat tomorrow. For real. Jackie
