Friday Finale....

This week in the shop we've had lots of new projects completed by our great knitting family.  Crocheting is really taking off here...and here is the latest crochet creation made after a much needed break from knitting baby items...

Mary has been crocheting turtles.  She used Noro and Lamb's Pride for this project. She's making a few of these for gifts for the little folks in her life.

Sitting around the table.  Everyone is welcome!

Beautiful Knitting Hands...Isabel.

Linda S. brought these lovely tulips in to celebrate the coming spring.

Barb W. knit these amazing socks up in between knitting her Great American Aran Afghan...last I heard she was on her last square!  There's a secret behind these sock that you'll  have to ask Barb about sometime.  

Ellyn Cooper's lastest design.  This is a capelet that she has recently designed using several of her yarns. She was also knitting up another one in different yarns that was coming out beautifully.  You can choose a variety of Ellyn's yarns to work this project up. That's some of her yarn behind her on the wall.

And of course...the back view. We'll be having a class on this in April.

Nancy...a traveling nurse that has found us during her stay in Windham just completed these couple of pairs of socks.  Lots of nurses come into the shop and find knitting to be such a great way to unwind.  Often time you'll find nursing stories being swapped around in the shop!

She'll be travelling off to New York soon.  We'll miss her fun stories and great smile that she always brightened the shop with!

Kathy P. in another beautiful Japanese Mystery Scarf...this one is made out of cotton.

Finished Objects Friday...

Margaret W. knit these orange and purple mittens that were designed by Kellie Nuss as "Two Pair" which also includes a pair of socks.  The patterns were in Knitter's Magazine #96, Fall 2009.  The yarn is Schoppel-Wolle Crazy Zauberball.  Such a beautiful job Margaret!

Basil Hat designed by Christiane Burkhard was knit by Elizabeth B. 

The yarn used was Mission Falls.

We've had so many folks knit this hat up in many great color combinations.

Basil Hat 

Carol H. knit this sweet tiny baby Basil Hat up for a new grandchild on the way.  She used Plymouth Baby Boutique.  This is a  microfiber and nylon yarn that is very soft...just right for a wee one's head.

Kathy P. knit this Japanese Mystery Scarf. We have this pattern available at the shop.  She used Mini Mochi yarn for this project.

Deb K. crocheted this "debbie's version" of Mini Mochi Flower Garden Shawl (granny style motif crochet).   She used Mochi Plus instead of Mini Mochi.  She also crocheted the squares together with Ellyn Cooper's Yarn Sonnets.

Beth knit and felted this great little lunch bag from a pattern on Knitty.  We love Knitty and find alot of great patterns and inspiration at this online site.  She used a nice piece of costume jewelry to adorn the bag.  

Ellyn Cooper is creating this afghan out of mitered squares.  You can find Ellyn at our shop on Thursday nights at our sit-and-knit nights. 

Isabel knit another multi-directional scarf from Feza cotton.  She is churning out these scarves at the rate of  one or two a week!

Sandee has her sock machine out again!  When you're in the swing of things...you can knit up three pairs of socks in an hour on one of these little beauties.  Come by and see what this little marvel can do.
