Shell Wk 7

Candi made these gory but yummy finger cookies for our Halloween snack and knit night. Debi and Candi came in costume, a pirate and a pot head.

We received some fun Halloween patterns for pumpkin pins, Spock ears, a face mask, candy corn, and a felted pumpkin bowl.

We were also presented new patterns for knitted skirts and two shells. Irene will be scanning and emailing it to you.

Sandy knitted this lace skirt as a sample for the class. It is one of the patterns.

Rug Book
We voted for a title of Linda and Nola's knitted rug book. The editor is ready to put a title on the book and for the cover to be designed. 

Linda will take a little time each week to teach anyone interested in learning how to crochet to help crochet rugs for their next book. She recommends the following book sold at Auburn Needleworks. Bring a crochet size H hook and some nice smooth yarn.

Wool Applique Class
Nola will be visiting and teaching a class for $24 (includes kit). The pictures of the project are on this blog on Shell Wk 5. You will need to bring two needles, a tapestry and a chenille.

Next Session
Linda will start out the next session with toy patterns. Sweaters and Shrugs will be continued later in the Spring. For the state fair, she is thinking about entering some type of toys.

8th Annual Holiday Stockings for the Troops Contribution
Karen M. brought some flyers about an organization that sends goodies to the troops in Afghanistan for only $28. It is a great cause for the Christmas season.

Not So Good News
We were sorry to hear that Penny's sister passed away recently. She had been very ill for a while. A card was signed by all present.

Also we heard that Linda B. slipped in her home and broke a bone in her neck. We signed a card to be sent to her too.

Diane made these cute needle felted animals.

Diane also finished her gourd.

Jenny knitted this beautiful scarf with one skein of Mini Mochi yarn.

Debi made two. The one with the yarn called Camouflage has a draw string to be used as a yarn caddy.

Candi made this baby diaper soaker.
