Pop Knit Wk 9

Linda was back and looking well from her appendix surgery. This week we worked on the first of three honeycomb techniques. Our homework assignment for this week is to cast on 22 sts and knit 15 rows of stockinette stitches starting with a purl row.  It was also a night for the fashion show.

We worked on the one on the right. Next week we will make the one on the left.


Linda looks great in Teri's sweater.


Toni's sweater just kept on stretching.


Linda L. started this pretty vest years ago in one of Linda's classes. She just finished it!



Linda made this lovely sweater; it's a perfect fit.
The last week of this session is March 21. We will take a break during the last week of March, and then the new session starts on April 4. We will continue with pop knitting for the shorter session.

In the Fall, Linda is thinking of working on sweaters with interesting techniques.

By the way, Karen M. finished the rug for Linda's book. It is beautiful!
 

President on Facebook
Toni noticed that some of our presidents were on the Cascade 220 facebook page. There were a lot of likes and nice comments. The website is https://www.facebook.com/CascadeYarns/timeline .

Road Trip!
Linda had exciting news for us. She mentioned having a road trip to Art Fibers in San Francisco this summer taking the train from Auburn and returning the same day. Tickets would cost about $36 round trip if we buy a 10 person pass.

Toothbrush Looping
Linda taught a class on Saturday at Sierra College making this cute bag using a toothbrush.


Happy knitting!
