Long June Days

Well it's been a nice light cool evening tonight. Another small meeting but we welcomed a new member who has been experimenting with her knitting with some nice effects and had her first attempt at crochet with surprisingly good results. I say surprisingly as I can still only just about crochet. L was using all her odds and ends and making more wristwarmers for presents. S had done her tension square & was spot on so she was able to start her hat . She did well and did at least three pattern repeats before she left. I am knitting Mousse from one of the new Rowan Classic books. In the book it is knitted in silk cotton I am knitting it in Rowan Bamboo tape and it is one of the easiest patterns I have ever knitted it may be the first adult pattern I'll knit more than once.Also took a photo of the mystery blanket being knitted

The End of May

Well we had a young member of our group last meeting. H came with her mum L who has been knitting lots of clothes for her teddies. S was there knitting another hat and trying to work out her tension. L was knitting with Sirdar Soya yarn. She's knitting a summer cardi that is knitted in one piece. It looks like nice yarn. J was knitting in Bamboo and I was knitting a wrap in Bamboo tape. We also had a table at the Churchs garden party and managed to start 3 children off on their knitting. It was a great day a real feeling of community. Next meeting June 23rd St Pauls
