Keep cranking out those bears! The Mother

by floridakelly – a
whole bunch of super nice yarn, mostly Noro, and 11 books!
Thank you, Kelly – you are amazing!
We will be having another Sweater
KAL/CAL to get you ready for winter!
It will run from September 15 to December 15, and it must be an
adult-sized sweater with some kind of sleeves to qualify for the prize drawing. If you’ve never knit a sweater before,
this is the time to give it a try!
We will have a list of some patterns that would work well for beginners
on our Sweater KAL Chat thread.
Tracie and Barb will be at:
Cogknitive Fiber Retreat 6 – October 11 –
Tehachapi, CA
Lambtown – October 4-5 – Dixon, CA
Stitches West – February 19-22 – Santa Clara, CA
Barb finished her second
pair of Stitch
Surfers. She loves this
pattern, but is ready to be done with it for a while.
Tracie finished her second
Infamous
Hobo Bag (but still needs to line it) and her Drifting cardigan. She also crocheted two Mother Bears, #43
and#44.
Barb is continuing to work on:
The Vonica cardigan by
Bonne Marie Burns, using Highland
Handmades Butternut DK in the Charcoal colorway.
Vanilla socks using Patons North
America Kroy Socks Ragg Shades in the 1301 colorway.
The TGV (High
Speed Knitting) shawl by Susan Ashcroft, using Fishknits
Divine Full Grandient in the Tea Rose Hybrid colorway.
Tracie is excited to be
casting on:
A second Vitamin D by Heidi
Kirrmaier in Knitting Rose Yarns Blossom Sock in the Girl on Fire colorway
and
Mystik Spiral Socks by
Josh Ryks in Invictus Yarns Master of my Feet in the Aradia Self Striping
colorway. This pattern is named
for the band on the MTV series “Daria,” which just makes Tracie love it even
more.
When our tires are bald, we'll still be freakin' friends...
She continues to work on:
Far East of
Eden bag by Myra Wood using many skeins of scrap yarn!
The Ripples shawl
by Annelie Wallbom, using Becoming Art
Cielo Fingering in the True Love colorway.
The Cleito sleeveless
top, using Nashua
Handknits Creative Focus Cotton DK in yellow, and Mirasol Yarns
Illaris in the 111 (Plum) colorway.
Tracie and Barb were
intimidated by the beautiful patterns in
Cooperative Press.
