Knit A River

Imagine the squares are numbered from the top left
1 2 3
4 5 6 and  errr 7

1. Dorothy - ripples of water in a knit and purl pattern
2. Rene - diagonal garter stitch with an unintentional line down the middle which looks just fine (she was forgiven momentary lapses in concentration as this was her first outing without the baby!)
3. Mine - boring old garter stitch, back and forth, back and forth, but I liked the colour
4. Anne - she chose ripply yarn and then changed stitch pattern as she got bored, which was often
5. Annie - for some reason this got pulled out three times but the end result is perfectly lovely
6. Anne - very nice mohair cable. I couldn't work out why she had a sock needle between her teeth for the whole time until the end when the cable was revealed
and finally,
7. - Sue - what can I say. Sue lives life to the full and sees every opportunity as a chance to express her uniqueness. We love her for it.

This is just the start. the Hexham Wave will continue at Knitting on Tuesday and then we will send them all to Wateraid and wonder who is going to sew them all up?

We all started off with the same idea - knit a 15 cm square in blue. The end results are all so different - just like each of my knitting friends! Ahhh!

And finally - this one from Geoff is a work in progress

Good on you Geoff, my dad was a Geoff he did wonderful crochet which none of his girls could master. Mum tried teaching him to knit but the final piece left alot to be desired. Quite a lacey effect would describe it well.

If anyone can do it, Sheila would love to contribute. A x

A couple of questions. First what is Geoff making? Is he working to a pattern or 'playing by ear' and finally, will we get regular photographic updates?
