More of a good thing...

There were a bunch of finished objects this week!!
Starting with a blue washcloth that Melinda is donating back to The Gathering Place. A great example of the washcloth we are all starting with.

Washcloth, blue



This is Darlene's bag that she has been working on for the last three weeks. It will be felted, the strap cut into two pieces, and assembled in the coming weeks.

Bar, pre-felting and finishing



This is the scarf that Bernadette knit then crochet the black edging onto. Its pretty, sparkly and soft!

Scarf



This is Liz's second hat in the same twisted rib pattern. While the pattern is free form, the knitting is improving each time, as is the finishing! Now she is working on a scarf to match.

Hat, cream



This is the washcloth that Bernadette donated to The Gathering Place. This is her first project that involved purling. She crochet the edge onto the washcloth for a pretty finished look.

Washcloth, brown



Great job ladies!!

Progress...

Lots of exciting progress today!
First we have a photo of wash cloths started by Melinda, Rose, Tyra, Debi, Sylvia, and Cathy. Everyone is doing such a great job.

The finished washcloth is from Kathy. This is her first knitting project. She learned to knit last week, this week she learned to bind off - and she started the October washcloth!

Finally, we have Elizabeth's hat. We were working on a k2, p2 rib, which got twisted, but really looks great and fits her head very well! A new hat was cast on before the end of class. Elizabeth learned knitting in the round, purling, k2tog, p2tog with this project. That's a lot of new knitting skills!
Happy Knitting!!

First Post!

This is the first post of the success of The Gathering Place knitters.

These hats were made and felted by Melinda. She did a beautiful job, knitting and felting these hats and flowers. Even the flowers have pretty matching beads attaching them to the hats.

Happy Knitting!!
