Spring is Almost Here

The beautiful spring like weather brought a good crowd to work on their works in progress.




This delicious Chocolate Delight dessert not only looked good but tasted delicious. The crochet shamrocks added a special touch to the refreshment table. 

Rita continues to work on sewing the walker bags. She is still accepting fabric donations.

Rita finds a solution for everything including keeping up with her glasses.

 

Janet was seen wearing this beaded creation. She really impresses me with her intricate and detailed work.

Iola is a beginner crocheter and confessed that she knew her edges were not even. I reassured her that this is all part of the learning process and with practice and perseverance she will improve. My advice to her was to count stitches on every row and to be careful not to miss working a stitch on the turning chain.

One of the ladies I talked to told me about this fantastic kit she purchased at Ollie's. The kit includes yarn and numerous cards with projects for all different levels. She did say she thought she bought the last one.

Shelia finished this cotton cloth she found in one the Mason Dixon Knitting book and added the five petal crochet flower. Nice work!

…until we meet again may your creative genius continue to enrich your lives.

Spring Time Colors

Spring time colors are all around us and are also seen in the yarn colors being used. Jill’s pretty manicured hands even matched the scarf she is working on. She found this fluffy yarn at Hobby Lobby on special for $1.99 a skein.

The crocheted and knitted bags which will be sold during our upcoming book sale have started coming in. Phyllis shared how she kept running out of yarn, so she used three different colors in this one she is modeling. She found this pattern in the Knit Simple magazine.

Nancy's crocheted bag is also very colorful and with lots of room.

Nancy found a large skein of Sugan 'N Cream cotton yarn which she has been using to make another bag. She wants to make sure she won't run out of yarn.

Pat's shawl for her daughter turned out very pretty. She said her daughter thought it was too lacy and delicate. She made another one for her to suit her style. I'm sure someone else will love this one.

The stripes appear on this beautiful sweater as Delores knits. This yarn was pricey she reports, over $12.00 a skein so the completed sweater will cost around $50.00.

This bunny cake made by Shelia was enjoyed by all those present. He matches all the pretty colors I saw during this meeting.
