Isn't this beautiful? Diana did a great job on this Felted Incomplete Scarf. It is going to be a gift. This photo does not do it justice.
Darling! Janine knitted this darling alligator scarf for her nephew. Her granddaughter already told her that she wants one in purple.
Food Color Dye
We had an enjoyable time learning how to dye yarn with food colors in the ARD kitchen. Vickie is an excellent teacher.

Dying yarn is fun, and the results even better.
This Week's Project: Socks
Linda went over the sock pattern with us. Our homework assignment is to knit the cuff and stop there. We will go over the heel next week. For the cuff, knit in the round and use a 1x1 ribbing pattern (k1,p1). The cuff can be either 12 rows or 24 rows for a turn down cuff. Do not be creative as the pattern indicates for this practice piece.
During the Nov 19 class, we will start a toe up sock. You will need to bring dpns, a tape measure, and a ruler. We can use real sock yarn for this project. When purchasing sock yarn, check that the skein can make a pair of socks and not just one sock. 100 grams usually makes a pair of socks. Warning: someone will be measuring your feet that night without shoes.
We will also get a pattern for pedi socks which are toeless socks to show off your pedicure and toe rings.
Ornament Exchange
There are only 3 more sessions left this trimester. We will be having an ornament exchange on Dec 3 for anyone interested in participating. Linda will give us some Christmas ornament patterns to knit next week.

Hats! Hat season will soon be upon us. Here's a few.
