Holiday Gifts Week 8

Sharon's cornucopia with pumpkin, corn, tomato, and eggplant. The outside of the cornucopia has a vine with leaves. Did you know that if you double click on the picture, you will get a larger view?

Irene's cornucopia with gourd and corn. Trim from Ruth is used on the rim.

Candi's mittens.

Diana's bowl.

Time is quickly going by; it is already the 8th week. Tonight we had a lovely time knitting cornucopias and mittens. I'm sorry that I forgot to take pictures of Bev's whimsical mittens, Barbara's cat bed and mat, and Noelle's cable mittens that they shared during show n' tell. Linda L. sent everyone an email with the new updated email addresses. If you did not get an email from Linda today in either your mail box or spam folder, please let her know. Also, Noelle gave us a copy of a braided neckpiece pattern that is very pretty.

There will be no Monday night classes for the next two weeks in observance of Veteran's Day and Thanksgiving Week. The Monday class will resume on November 26.

New Project

Next week Linda will go over the checkerboard game and pouch pattern. Two new techniques will be introduced: double sided knitting and knitting in the round on two straight needles. Scrap yarns and acrylic such as Wool-Ease are okay for this project.

There are only three more sessions after Thanksgiving. Projects include a backgammon set and retro slippers from the '50s and '60s.

January 2008 Class
Already thinking ahead, projects for the spring semester include free form knitting and vests.

That's it for now. Knit on!
