How cool are these felted slippers? Cynthia made a pair of size 10, and Laurie made a pair of size 6-1/2. Cynthia said she felted hers for about an hour to get them to her size. She tried them on every so often for fit.
It was the last class for the first trimester. Linda went over the pages for the heel increases and decreases. She demonstrated the wrap & turn and the double wrap which is so helpful to see done in person.
I hope many of you will return for the second session that starts next week. Don't forget to register! At the present time, the enrollment numbers look low, so please encourage friends, family, and strangers to take the class.
The octopus/jellyfish challenge is due the first night, Dec 10. It will be fun to see different takes on these knitted creatures, so I hope there will be good participation.
Linda will be teaching us how to make projects out of two triangles that forms into a square. For next week's class, bring solid scrap yarn in two contrasting colors and knitting needles (who doesn't bring knitting needles?). Besides "square" projects, she will cover all kinds of gloves and mittens from Knit Picks during the second session.
Also we will have a sign up sheet next week for our Christmas potluck on Dec 17. An optional knitted ornament exchange is planned. If you bring one, please have it wrapped for Dec 17.
Did you hear the good news about Noelle? This is huge. Diana told us in class that Noelle wrote the Martha Stewart Show about how well her MS pot held up in the oven when her house burned down in the Auburn fire. (She had a pot of beans in the oven during the fire.) They wanted to interview Noelle by phone on the air. However later, they called to invite her and her son to be on the show in NY instead. She will be aired on the Dec 14 telecast. Way to go!
Pat made this beautiful hat out of mitred squares. Here's a top and side view.
Vickie finished her cute, petite green alligator scarf with beaded eyes. Bea and Irene are in the process of completing theirs. They used worsted wt yarn, and Vickie used light wt yarn. Bea brought copies of the pattern for the nice ruffle sweater she showed us in the last class.
Teri made this sweet knitted scarf for her new darling puppy.
Jesse made this pretty scarf from the book, One Skein Wonders, the designer edition.
Diane crocheted this cute little snowman, and knitted the hat using Boucle that she bought at a Dollar Tree store.
Happy Knitting!
