Jan is at it again. This Thursday she brought in her completed shawl to show us. This shawl was started by everyone’s dear friend and GVF employee Jali Giroux, using her own handspun yarn. Unfortunately, Jali passed away before she was able to finish this project, but Jan stepped up to the challenge. We all know Jali would have been delighted at the effort Jan put into this, and how beautiful the shawl is. Thank you Jan for sharing this with us.

Leah stopped in to show us her socks she had completed using the skeins of Nyoni she had purchased. After knitting her very first pair on the right, she then used Simple Skyp Socks from Ravelry, and knit up her second pair on the left. Great job Leah!

Kelly is finding a way to beat this heat this summer with this beautiful silk short sleeved shirt. Knit with Handmaiden’s Swiss Mountain Mulberry Tussah in the natural colour, this project is not only enjoyable to look at, but great to feel as well. The detailing around the neck finishes the project off with a bit a of class. Thanks for sharing Kelly, beautiful job!

Colin and a few of his friends braved the heat and stopped into the shop this week. While the weather was too much for his mother, Caroll, Colin did bring along two of her lace shawls to show us. What beautiful pieces they were! The first was a Fleece Artist yarn made into a peacock lace pattern shawl which took two months to complete. The second was a gorgeous cream coloured alpaca yarn that was a nice weight in your hands. These were beautiful pieces and everyone in the shop had to have a feel. Thanks so much Colin for brining these up and Caroll we look forward to seeing the next amazing creation that comes off your needles!

Raeanne was very excited to be done her Trina jacket, a present knit for her mother. Trina is a Fleece Artist kit using two skeins of Baby Alpaca and four skeins of Blue Face Aran. We know your mother will love it Raeanna! Great Job.

Frances popped into the shop to show us her completed jacket. Knit with a mohair, linen and nylon blend, she finished this jacket off with a skein of Planet Earth beaded yarn to add a bit of sparkle. The pattern is from Wild Fibres Winter 2010. Beautiful Frances!

You may remember Jan showing us her finished baby garments for Lily Hana here. Well now we all get to see sweet little Lily Hana modeling them for us! The only thing cuter than baby knits, are babies actually wearing them! Looks like a perfect fit Jan, great work!

Cheryl has stopped by the shop a few times and mentioned these great baby booties she had been knitting. The visit she paid us she brought them along so we could just how great they are! These booties are knit from Christine’s Stay on Booties pattern. The pattern uses a side ribbing which lets the booties grow with the child, seeing as how they are able to not only stretch vertically but horizontally as well. The ones shown here are knit in Koigu KPPPM using size 2.25mm needles. Thanks sos much Cheryl for showing us this little treasure!

While visiting her son, Wolfville’s own Jeremy Novak from The Grapevine, Ruth stopped into the shop to show us what she had been up to. Using Legacy Lane’s Kitchen Sink Lopi yarn, and her knitting loom from iheartderek, Ruth was producing a fabulous scarf for Jeremy. By wrapping the yarn around the pegs at the top of the loom, and bringing the yarn over from the bottom, the loom creates a beautiful stitch design. Thanks so much for stopping in Ruth and sharing! We look forward to seeing the finished product on Jeremy.

Deborah has been busy! Using two skeins of Nyoni from Fleece Artist and her own pattern, Deborah has produced this beautiful shawl. With the semi-solid colour, it is a great addition to any wardrobe. Definitely an inspiration Deborah!

Don’t let looks deceive you! Linda may have looked a bit puzzled as she started her koigu sweater, but the finished result is beautiful! Using a vintage pattern, Linda made this cute little sweater for a friend of the family. The pink ribbon is the perfect finishing touch. Wonderful work Linda!

Everyone in the Thursday knitting group was quite taken by these beautiful amulet pouches Dagmar has been making. Knit on size 0000 needles, with bead work, they are not a project for the faint of heart. We look forward to seeing more Dagmar!
