Greg’s Projects

• Greg continues working on socks for himself. He is using yarn from Two Guys Yarn Company. It will incorporate the Non-Euclidian heel by Sarah Jordan and The Discretion Cuff by Gene Beenken-Draper.
• Greg is working on a test knit for Danielle Thuen from Crits and Knits. It is a dice bag with dividers to keep your different sized dice separated. It’s lots of fun.

Pam’s Projects

• Pam worked on a pair of socks for Scott using Paton’s Kroy. She is loosely following the Vanilla Latte pattern by Virginia Rose-Jeanes with a Fish Lips Kiss Heel by Patty-Joy White. Pam used a Turkish cast on.
• Pam worked on Polarlys by Martina Behm. She is using Merino Lace (discontinued) by Palouse Yarn Co.
• Pam bought more yarn for the 2nd color of her Loveland Lite Shawl by Toni Lipsey. She is using Studio Sox from The Fibre Studio at Yarns to Dye For.
