Gansey Wk 11

Craft night!  It was so successful that it might become an annual event. Everyone brought great ideas.  Here are the projects presented.

Gift boxes from Christmas cards


Gift Tags


Christmas ornament made from an almond


Pattern for little bear and rabbit


Decorative gift bags


Felted soap


Row counter


Santa Gnome


Little Christmas Tree


Shawl Pin. Here is the one Lynette made.


Bicyle inner tube earrings, candy cane earrings, snowball ring displayed on a yarn bombed tree.


Wreath pin

Next Week -- Christmas Party
Bring a potluck dish and a wrapped Christmas Exchange gift ($10 value).  Reminder about Jake's gift, please add a couple of dollars to the envelope on the table if you like; some are giving a gift or gift card instead.

December 13 Rug and Skiff Party
The rug meeting will start at 3 pm instead of 1 pm. Even if you are not making a rug, you can come and knit with the group. The Skiff party will start at 6 pm. There is a preference form to fill out, so Nola can bring clothing that we are interested in.

Nola will also have a hook flower pin class for $20. You can make either a sunflower, daisy, or poinsetta.

Show 'n Tell

Penny's elf


Linda's vest in progress


Toni's mini Christmas characters


Sandy's snowmen


Teri's beautiful top. She bought the yarn at VKL in Chicago.


Cynthia figured out how to prevent her sweater from sagging from the weight of the yarn. She added strips in the shoulder areas from the neckline down as shown below.



Happy knitting!

I found this youtube video helpful when I first attempted a felted soap. The nylon stocking helps hold the roving down tight as you begin to rub...as soon as it starts to felt together...take off the nylon, then keep rubbing! -Diana

Thanks for the tip. It was quite an experience trying to get the roving to stick, but we had a lot of fun. The soap smelled so good.
