NOTES
Greg’s Projects
- Greg finished a hat project. It’s Espen by Varian Brandon. He doesn’t have a Ravelry page for it yet because he’s a mess.
- Greg is also knitting multiple Kory The Kobold stuffies. Again, he’s a mess, no Ravelry project pages…. He found some cool glitter plastic safety eyes that come in different colors for them.
- Greg is working on a design project.
Pam’s Project
- Pam worked on a pair of Fish Lips Kiss Heel socks by Sox Therapist using String Theory Yarn in the Ohm base. She mentioned the mini-gusset you can insert.
- Pam worked on Big Sister by Hinterm Stein. She is using Harrisville Designs Nightshades. She used Roxanne Richardson’s Finchley Graft video for the cuffs.
- Pam is still obsessed with making Easy Granny Christmas Baubles by Carmen Heffernan. She is using KnitPicks Comfy Sport.
- Pam cast on the Ribbit Scarf which is a fun pattern but frogged it because she ran out of yarn.
- Instead, Pam cast on a Bias Garter Scarf using KnitPicks Swish Worsted. No pattern. Pam is making this for the Foster Care to Success Red Scarf Program.
- Pam cast on the Cobblestone Cowl by Kay Adolphson. She is using handspun and a merino yak blend yarn.
- Pam’s Cousin Lisa is going to be making the GrandPa Sweater Vest. She is going to use KnitPicks Wool of the Andes.
