Ann Marie brought in a few items. First, her Wonderful Wallaby sweaters that she knitted up (the link will take you to one of a myriad of online shops that sell the pattern - I'm not endorsing any one shop for this pattern):
She also brought in a lovely baby hat (from one of grandsons) to show people about two-color knitting:
And it doesn't stop there! She brought in an almost completed Surprise Baby Sweater:
Finally, she brought in two helmet liners. You can find the specifics for knitting one right here. Laurel at The Yarn Shoppe has copies as well.
And Julie finished her candle flame wrap. It's her first lace project and she did a stunning job!
