 Betsy is ready to add her thumb! Bonnie has made great progress after having to rip everything out.  We helped her get started on her thumb earlier this week.    I actually got some knitting in last weekend!  I am doing a slip stitch everytime I change colors and left the thumb open at the end.   Stacy had to rip hers out and start again - I look forward to seeing her progress next week! Ann has been working on some projects for the office and has not gotten much knitting in.... hopefully soon!

60 More Quick Knits - Cascade Yarns Knit-Along We are trying an office knit-along and hope that some other people might try too.  When the preview copies came in for 60 More Quick Knits we fell in love with the Convertible Mitten-Gloves pattern by Yoko Hatta and decided it would make a great knit-along.  Seven of us from the office will be making these, helping each other along, and sharing our progress. To start, everyone picked their own colors of Cascade 220 Sport : Ann selected autumn tones. Betsy selected jewel tones. As did Bonnie.... And Tammy.... Spring picked a spring flower palette.    Stacy went for a bit of pop!  I went for a tonal approach.
