Hearth & Home II Wk 5

Teri made this felted yarn caddy. She embellished it with all kinds of beads.



Linda showed us what a short row design looks like. There is a pillow pattern in our packet that is covered with short rows with beads at the end. She was also going to demonstrate the wrap and turn, but decided not to.

Linda is wearing a scarf designed and made by Teri, our latest celebrity knitter.

Stitches West
Stitches West is just a few weeks away. Some beautiful yarn was donated for the raffle.

Presidential Challenge
Linda is willing to do the face and hair on your president(s) if you need help. There are 10 more presidents to be taken. I think three were taken in class. She also suggested that we use the dark stained, wooden doll stands from Hobby Lobby; these look more formal than the metal ones. Linda L. will order more books on the presidents for us if you are interested. She will wait for more orders next week.

Pot Holder Loops and T-Shirt Projects
Linda says to go ahead and start whenever you want. We will not wait until everyone is ready. Linda B. brought more t-shirts in bright colors. Next week will be devoted to these two projects. Both of these projects use size 35 needles and worked in garter stitch.

Rosemary is holding her finished looper rug.
Penny also finished one.

Linda L. and Candi take t-shirts to make yarn for a rug.

Sip and Knit
This event at the Power's Inn Mansion will be held on June 7 (a Thursday) at 6 pm. Save the date.

Claudia dyed these yarn using food color or natural plant dye such as plum leaves.

Vickie knitted this poncho.

Vickie also designed and made this entrelac purse.

Rosemary knitted a baby sweater and hat.

Sue knitted this little girl's sweater.

Sue also knitted this beautiful, soft shawl. My camera wasn't fast enough to get the right angle.

Four placemats by Sandi. Wow!

Happy knitting!
