Many of you may remember the movie The Life Aquatic with Bill Murray. A quirky movie perhaps best known for the woolly red toques everyone wears. While these hats have no doubt led to many knitters casting on to make one, for those looking for a bit more of a challenge should follow in Carrice's footsteps and take a look at Serena Murphy's version of The Life Aquatic. Carrice showed up with this sweater on and had everyone asking her to take her jacket off so we could look at it in all its glory. Knit with Brown Sheep Nature Spun, this sweater is truly a fun project to knit and to wear. Wonderful job Carrice, now you just need the red toque to match! 

 

We always joke with Jeanne that we see her buying yarn, but never get to see any of her finished items. Well she has proved us wrong! Her she is with her very beautiful Silk and Suri scarf. Jeanne knit this by casting on lengthwise and alternating Blue Sky Alpaca's Alpaca Silk and their Brushed Suri. This creates a scarf with a lovely drape, but also enough furry goodness that you never want to take it off. Great job Jeanne! Keep them coming!
