Show & Tell Friday

Well, making Valentine cookies with my granddaughter last night was a huge hit. As you can see, the cookies were really, really red (she put in a dad too much food coloring)...and they certainly don't look as pretty as Sheri's were...but then some of them were decorated by an almost 5 year old. My granddaughter LOVED me letting her decorate them herself. And to be honest, she did a really good job at not getting icing everywhere. This was a good thing since she had already had her bath before I got home. We had a lot of fun and hopefully she'll remember it for years to come.

As for Show and Tell, this week Phil brought in some items that she had made. The first photo shows some fingerless gloves she made out of Plymouth Baby Alpaca. They were sooo soft and she did a nice job on the fair-isle pattern. The next photo is of 2 hats she made. The one on the left is the Amanda hat made out of the Malabrigo yarn and the cabled hat on the right is made out of Tahki's Bunny yarn. The last photo is her Berroco's Jasper scarf. This is what the yarn looks like when you do stockinette stitch. Last Friday I showed you what a scarf using that yarn looks like in garter stitch. Two different looks using the same yarn. Both equally nice.

Thanks Phil for sharing your work with us. If you have finished projects you'd like to share, please bring them by the shop. We'll showcase some more items next Friday. Have a great day!!
