August 4 and August 11, 2006

The words for the past two weeks: New clients, Fast Learners, Purling, Persistence

We had a picnic in a park on August 4. Those who didn't swim brought their knitting with them. Those who did, didn't come out of the pool - it was that really hot week here in Philadelphia. We knitters didn't move from under a tree (it was that hot!)

On August 11 we had several new clients learning to knit. Here are some photos of what has been happening in the Interim House Knitting world.

Zelphia showing the clients how to make an intricate shawl! Zelphia has inspired so many of the women to make beautiful shawls!
We have a knitter who loves making scarves!

This handbag was inspired from the diagonal washcloth design. our client figured this out without a pattern.
One of our new knitters displaying her first project: a washcloth which I encourage everyone to start with.
This is Zelphia modelling a shawl made by one of our clients! They designed this pattern!
Our crocheted afghans are always popular!
Zelphia with the shawl again! She came with the perfect outfit to match it.


The diagonal washcloth pattern knitted into a baby blanket- above.

This is a scarf with different pieces of novelty yarn that was donated.
