Marsha’s Projects

Ames Beanie: by Stephanie Larson. Finished! Used Leading Men Fiber Arts Box Office (worsted) in colorway Spiced Apple Cider. Made for Mark. I bought the yarn at the much missed String Theory Yarns. 

Flowers from My Garden: Finished! Eight skeins and 1,758 yards. Finished yarn may be worsted or DK.

Malabrigo Nube Merino Braids: Have two braids in the color way 855 which is a blue green. The first braid I split into 10 individual rovings and the second braid I plan to split into half. I  will then ply the two singles together.

Camella Hat: by Katie Pomper. Using Meeker Street Olive’s Outerwear DK in the colorway Dragon’s Breath. 

Nanny Meier Tea Cozy: Inspired by Lily Pulitzer colors. Using Cascade 220 in hot pink and lime green. Finished first side.

Socks: Using Knitterly Things Vesper Sock Yarn in the colorway Sum-Sum-Summertime. Heels and toes will be Dream in Color Mini Smooshy in the colorway Bermuda Teal. I finished the first sock and am about half way down the leg of the second sock.

Fine Sand: by Heidi Kirrmaier. Using West Yorkshire Spinners Illustrious in the colorway Claret. I washed and blocked the body. Seems okay but I would like it a bit roomier. I’m still thinking about what I want to do next. 

Kelly’s Projects

Continuing to work on Purple/Gray socks for Robert. These are the ones that I had to stop working on during the last episode because I forgot to turn the heel. I pulled the needles out and put them back in the bag to fix later. Later turned out to be a month later. I now can’t remember what yarn this is. I got it at the very last Stitches West ever in 2022. 

Continuing to work on Dozens of Little Squares. I’ve washed 83 squares and have another large batch finished. So I’m at almost 200 squares so far. Time to start sewing them together!

Events 

Winter Weave Along starts October 1 and goes through March 31. Join the fun in our Ravelry group!

Kelly at a Florida conference, Orlando, 19th through 22nd.
