Hearth & Home II Wk 9

We had a lot to show and tell since we just came back from Stitches West. Linda thanked everyone who donated prizes for the bus and announced that everyone won a prize. A big thank you went to Teri for the fun knit project that she made for all of us, a tea bag cozy that is also perfect for our phones. Vickie's tea cozy was eaten by her dog, who loved the tea inside; hers is the yellow one.

Linda's Spring Classes
1.  Pine Needle Class, in Folsom, on May 12 at the Murer House.
2.  Knit a Mermaid Doll (I think this is with Placer School for Adults)
3.  Our Thursday class will end this month. Sign up for the Spring session with ARD.

Presidents
Rosemary volunteered to take our presidents to the State Fair and back if we are accepted. The presidents are due on May 1. Linda also announced that Leslie from the morning class is writing a letter to all the presidental libraries, the White House, Martha Stewart, Oprah Winfrey, etc. regarding displaying our presidents. She will also follow up with a phone call!  Five presidents still need to be taken: Buchanan, Pierce, Harriso, Harding, and Fillmore. Linda has already knitted four, and Karen is knitting three of them.

Karen M's president holding a telephone. Adorable!

Monsters
Karen W ordered the monster finger puppets. They make cute double point needle holders. See Linda's holders below on the left.

Fingerpuppets
The fingerpuppets are still at the Foresthill library. They will be taken to the Loomis library in a couple of weeks. The readers love looking at them, and the Loomis librarian cannot wait to display them.

Gloria's caddy; it is a nice, big size.

Gloria also finished her looper rug.

Sue made this pretty, soft vest.

Linda finished the sweater that was inspired by Teri.

Happy knitting!
