July 2 Finished Objects

Thursday Night in Knots was as always fun.  I (Dani) had to put my complicated Shawl down because I was too distracted with the fun.  I always make sure to bring a no brainer as well so that I don’t have to rip back all that I knit while there.  We had lots of beautiful finished objects as well.  There is no particular order to these, just what order they got uploaded.

An oldie, but goodie.

Yes, I know that these are old but Misti had them on her camera and I still think that are worth it.  These are some of the 23? socks that Misti knit last Christmas for every one in her family.

Girly sock monkey hat by Dani.  You can find the pattern here.

Tigger Socks

Tina B’s Tigger Socks.  A request from her daughter.  Tina was going to weave in the ends and her daughter said leave them and put a poof on the end.  Snazzy little socks for a snazzy little girl.

Uncursed Yarn Shawl

Tina E’s Uncursed Yarn Shawl.  This poor yarn got frogged many times and never wanted to become anything.  Finally after an over dye job, it has become a beautiful shawl.  The moral of this story is that if you have truely cursed yarn, over dye it.   Sorry, no pattern yet, Tina is thinking about doing another one and writing out the pattern.  When and if she does this we will let you know where it will be available.

Misti's Purple Passion

Here is Misti’s beautiful purple shawl.  The pattern can be found in A Gathering of Lace by Meg Swansen.  It is the Rippling Rainbow.  Didn’t it turn out georgeous?!

Midnight Shadow's Wool dyed by Dani

Dani’s hand dyed yarn.  The yarn is Jo Knowlton’s of Notlwonk Spring’s in Corrnish.  This was some of Spinderella’s first yarn.

Barbara's Plush Shawl

Barbra knitted up this lush shawl.  Barbara is one of our summer citizens and we love that she has come to join us for the summer.

Tina's Blanket

This is Tina H’s Blanket.  I can’t remember the book it is from.  Give me a shout out so I can add it.  That bump in the middle is Fleur.  A little scottie dog.  She didn’t look like she wanted to move so we just threw the blanket over her.  She held nice and still during the picture.

stitch details

Yes we did rescue the doggie.

Babara's silk and wool Yarn

And lastely Barbara’s spinning.

Come join us Thursday nights from 5-8pm at Yarn today.  We would love for you to join in on our fun!

Dinner at Ramano's Macaroni Grill

A group of us got together and went down to Salt Lake for the Gem Fair.  There will be another September 25, 26 and 27th.  You can buy beads for your knitting, shawl pins, jewelery findings, and clothing.  There was also walk-in classes, no sign ups required, personal instruction too.

Taylor and Andee's Bracelets

People were lost once again, but they were found in the end.

After the Gem fair, everyone was starving so there was much wandering around until a restaurant could be agreed on.  Finally Ramano’s Macaroni Grill was chosen.  As usual with our group, we had outrageous fun.  Just check out the waiter!  Honestly the waiter was the highlight of the evening.
