Hearth & Home II Wk 11

We switched it up this week! By drawing numbers that Vickie beautifully laminated, we sat in different places and mingled with new faces.

Linda demonstrated double knitting for anyone interested in making the woven rug. This rug is 32 by 24 inches and made by knitting long strips that are woven and sewn together. You do not have to gauge on this rug.

President Polk by Linda. Gold was discovered while he was in office, and his sash shows a slogan that he used.

Next week is the last week of this session. The new session begins on March 29; it will be an 8-week session. There will be no class on April 5 for spring break; however, Linda will meet anyone interested on April 4 to work on presidents at Auburn Needleworks. By the way, Auburn Needleworks is moving to Lincoln Way in mid-April.

Claudia dyed this yarn with dogwood and cuttings of something else nearby

Carol's dizzy rug trivet and tea bag

Linda's yarn caddy

Leslie is selling these yarn caddies for $10. On the other side, there is a hole to draw yarn through.

Linda and Nola wrote an article for a rug hooking magazine about their experience at Sauder Village near Archibald, OH. Linda designed this rug.

Nola designed and hooked this rug about Sauder Village.
 
Happy knitting!
