On Monday, I had a knitting class with Leanne.
I am making her sister Andee's, Outlander Cowl.
It has always been one of my favorites
and it will be an extra special piece to add to my wardrobe,
because Andee wrote the pattern
and Leanne taught the class.
These girls are really amazing and knitting on the farm
has been such a great experience,
at a time in my life when I really needed it.

A week or so ago Leanne sent me all the information
to purchase my yarn and get my cowl started.
Casting on 100 stitches and getting one inch completed were no problem.
My yarn is purple and I plan on keeping this cowl for winter,
it's gorgeous.
Class on Monday went great.
We sat outside, we watched the Alpaca roam and it was so cool on the farm
I was actually able to sit outside for two hours.
Two whole hours, now that's a miracle.
I had such a fun time, I enjoy Leanne's company
and we always have the fun-est conversations.
Here's a peek at the cowl...
and the pattern.
It looks pretty with the hydrangeas from my garden...
close up it looks a little like a basket weave.
So far, it's been easy, peasy and I learned how to "make 1",
that's knitting lingo for adding a stitch!

Tune in tomorrow to find out what!!

When I was young, I took a photography class at the New School in the Village in NYC..I loved photography ever since...Now, I am old and tired...and a fabric freak...cannot do everything they say..Your great sense of eye..is a joy to behold. I love your pictures
Beautiful color, Debbie, and what a nice setting for knitting! My daughter has been reading the Outlander series and now I'm excited to try to make that cowl pattern for her! Thanks for telling us about it. Enjoy the project.
Dearest Debbie-Seashore-Girl,
I remember when you started your classes there. Was that before or after your little visit to the hospital? How great you were blessed with the farm just when you needed it, huh? Yaaaay! I Still wish I could learn to knit like you. You make such purrdy things as jb likes to say.
:) m & jb
So glad to hear you had such a great time, I think it is a blessing to be able to find people that love to craft and just sit and do it together and have great fellowship! It is looking great and yes it goes perfectly with your lovely flowers :)
Oh Debbie, I love the purple cowl. It looks like it will turn out to be just beautiful. I am just so impressed on how well you are doing. I think it is so fun to do something you really enjoy. I need to get back to crocheting.
Loved all the pictures and the Cowl did match your lovely flowers.
Hugs!
I would love to see how this progresses, Debbie, and I hope you will model it for us when it is finished. I LOVE the color! :-)
