Knit Cafe success story
Thursday was our launch of the Thursday afternoon drop in Knit Cafe. Heather was winding yarn for her latest project - a grey felted bucket hat.
Ladies started arriving with bags in tow. We discovered three projects from years past that needed finishing. All sweaters in an almost finished state- but not quite... needed Eatons Lady Fair aran colour for two of the projects. The other sweater in need of a collar was rust in colour. It had very deep sleeve cuffs so with a little discussion Shirley decided cutting the ribbed cuff off and replacing it with a beautiful rust tweed was going to do it. So, the cuffs and collar will be a beautiful rust tweed. With Heather's guidance Shirley will get started at their next knitting group meeting in Markdale and by the time our next cafe happens they rust sweater will be one it's way to completion. whew!! oh and she will stop @ Hilda's for a custom cut zipper for the closure.
Now, Min's sweater needs some help but with luck Brenda who also joined us for the afternoon has an Eaton's stash at home- how handy was that!! and the chances of that- slim to nil... stroke of luck!! With the stars a lining Min may just get the chance to finish this beautiful fair isle sweater. Jan was working on a luscious alpaca ribbed scarf. I had a small show n tell- a wrap nearly done knit in Sirdar Indie- a chunky multi colour. The purple and green peek through the dark browns with delight. It will be nice and warm... oh and my Tilli silk twinkle scarf that my dogs decided to run around the house with the other day... I came home to find the ball of silk in one room and the scarf/needles etc in the other... They took one look at me and headed for the hills... their frolic was over and trouble was ahead... never mind- it's all good and the dogs are alive and well...
So, I look forward to next week- do drop by and say hello... K
