Remember two weeks ago...
Remember two weeks ago when Claire was working on that Wool-ease shrug with the provisional cast-on?
She finished the first half of her shrug, unpicked the provisional cast on, and put the live stitches on a needle. Then she started knitting in the opposite direction. Above is a crochet hook in the spot where her cast on was. It's nearly impossible to spot the cast on!
The crochet hook was borrowed for illustrative purposes from Ellie, who was working on a hat out of Homespun. She started with a circle (at the top of the hat) and crocheted out towards the brim of the hat.
Jennifer, who has posted before about her status as a new mom, knit a baby hat with Landscapes, and she felt that it needed a pom-pom top. Here's her pom-pom template and yarn.
Isn't it adorable?!
Tonight we welcomed four new women (and one sweet 10-year-old!). A male friend of mine happened to stop by the bakery where we meet. He couldn't believe how many people I know knit or crochet. He said, "It's like a giant length of yarn connecting you to all of these people you might never have met." It sounds a little cheesy, but it's so true!

Hello, I have been trying to find enough Lion Brand kool Wool to make a shawl-collar cardigan. I've been to all local Joanne's and other retailers who carry Lion Brand. Can you help? I just cannot find 14 skeins together anywhere. I'd like to buy on line, but I only have Am Exp.
Many thanks in advance...and the work you feature in the photos is beautiful!

I LOVE that little pink hat! I was planning on knitting my three-year-old neice a hat out of big chunky yarn like that; could you possibly post the pattern or email it to me? Or at the very least the type and colour of yarn. Thank you so much in advance!

Heather,
As Lauren said in her post, Jennifer knit the baby hat with Lion Brand Landscapes. The color she used is 540-271: Rose Garden, but you can see all the colorways at http://www.lionbrand.com/yarns/Landscapes.htm
