Heather's Herringbone scarf by Kate
Well, today was an absolute riot!!... Heather brought in premade bags of starter mix for her Mennonite cake/bread... well as soon as the girls found they were to "squeeze the bag" for ten days, adding ingredients at different intervals - one can only imagine where our minds went- straight to the gutter of course!!
The jokes were flying - laughter was in the air and knitting was going along just fine.. we went from the Queen Mum, to the Queen and Philip and on from there... Then we chatted about the fact that since you could down load books to a kindle - soft porn books were selling like crazy... had to be the extra large moon this week causing our wild and crazy stories... what ever it was-  we laughed like pixies... good for the soul..
Just to prove we were actually knitting - here's the pics

Shy Ruth and her Starter bag   

Karen P was working on her Herringbone scarf. Margaret was rethinking her Miss Lambert's lace. Dallas was moving right along on her Miss L... Julia popped in for jokes, Beverley dropped in for a chat and yarn, Ruth stopped in after the gym... great afternoon!!!

Spring Sweater Knitting

Who's tired of the cold winter winds and ready to knit a great Spring sweater?  Well, I think many of us are ready for those tulips and crocuses to show up.  Have you heard about Joji's Boxy sweater line up? These easy fit fun toknit sweaters have been designed in several styles and yarn weights.  Have a  look...  The Boxy was Joji's first design like this. It has a unique construction with interesting details and lots of easy knitting.  Boxy  is a very simple modern sweater, with a very wide body and skinny sleeves. Worked with a lightweight yarn it is very flattering, drapey and stylish!  A little short row section in the shoulders adds an interesting texture to the sleeves.  Directions are given to make a seamless version (worked in the round) or a seamed version (worked back and forth) of the body. The sleeves and the neckband are worked seamlessly in the round in both versions. As per Joji's description.  Then comes the worsted weight knit vers
