We were so grateful for good weather last evening so we could gather and hook. The winter has been tough on our crafts! It was a jolly group, with one new addition to our fold. Marta, a recent import to Nova Scotia from Toronto, took a beginning class a year ago and now she's starting her second project, one of the Initially Yours letters M. She loves lilacs and lavenders and these colours will be used for the letter. She plans to add pops of colour but will decide in what direction these will head after the M is hooked. A bit camera shy for now, I'll help her over that hump as time goes by! Anne is on the outside border of Alice and then all that will be left is the whipping and the admiring. Ginny is going whimsical this time with our smaller version of Sailor's Lure. I absolutely love the pretty face and what she is doing with the hair. Mermaids make great redheads! Shelley is working on a sari silk river. Pam is going great guns on her Joan Foster pattern. Winter is the last thing on your mind when you fall in love with this tropical palette. Charlene is on the end stretch of her final stained glass pattern, the third installment of her triptych. She is using some of Shane's dyed butterfly wool and tapes the strips as she cuts them in typical hooked, stained glassed fashion. Armenia started her new project "Twenty-Five Shades of Grey III". She fell in love with the larger version that Sue Cunningham hooked. We coloured planned it with 12 shades of grey and black and pinned samples of where each piece of wool will go. A quick and easy way to remember what colour goes where. I'm puttering away at my letter U. Life is very busy right now so it's going slower than I would like but I'm very happy how it is turning out. I love the colours!

What an impressive group we are... :) This group is my inspiration. I hated that we were house bound most of the winter.
