We had another fun session at Friday’s Knit & Natter on Zoom. Some newly completed projects were on show, including Santa’s washing line (above) – It’s brilliant – down to the Y-fronts!
With that finished this clever knitter is now concentrating on Christmas tree decorations.
The maker of this stunning Fair Isle Headhand kindly modelled her work for us.
Her original plan was to make it even warmer by adding a fleece fabric lining , but the double layer of knitting is proving to be quite warm enough. She’s had some requests to make more of these and was working on one in a lovely teal colour with the design in black.
The crochet baby blanket is coming on well, in a beautiful variegated yarn in soft pastel lemon, lilac and white.
I’ve was working on baby items too, but I’ll share that in a separate blogpost once the baby and her mum receive them.
Our new knitter’s work is still getting longer and neater.
There was an elephant in the Zoom Room too, or at least its feet!
When he’s complete, he will look like this.
The pink toenails are crocheted (like the rest of him) then sewn in place). He’s going to be amazing!
We were also joined by Evie the cockapoo. She’s adorable, though is not showing any interest in leaning how to knit or crochet just yet!
Have you been involved in any online knitting activity recently?
Stitches by the Sea 
I don’t get on as much as I should to see what my online friends are knitting but I always enjoy seeing your projects when I do :). I love that headband it is really pretty! I love looking at color work, but I don’t enjoy knitting it :P. Maybe something small like a headband would spark an interest :). Love your dog, we aren’t allowed to have dogs in our apt building. Cats are allowed, but I am allergic lol.

I think there’s something really lovely about communal knitting. I’d really missed the group and live that it’s back albeit online. I shall tell Lorna you like her headband! The dog pictured belongs to one of the group. My dog is a black lab. He has a bad habit of playing with squeaky toys during Zoom sessions so he’s banned from knit and. Natter!
