Jennifer Donze Presents Short Rows

As always Jennifer presented an excellent class.  She had lots of labelled samples and spent enough time on each technique that  we all had practice and a good understanding of when and why to use short rows in shaping our knit articles.  We learned to not hate wrap and turn and how to work German short rows.  No more excuses for not using short rows.






Belated Christmas Photos

I finally got my Photo App fixed and can post our photos from our meetings.

Here is our Christmas Show and Tell.  We knit cowls. toys, clothes hanger covers, hats, scarfs, beautiful lace and beaded shawls, steeked Icelandic cardigans, lace cardigans with wool we spun ourselves mitts and socks.  We set the bar high for next year!

We enjoyed being with our friends during the Holidays.
