Completed!



If you've been following Wednesday Night Show n' Tell, you may have noticed periodic pictures of a navy sweater knit by Lynn. Well, Lynn showed up Wednesday to show off her finished garment! Knit if Vintage by Berroco with asymmetrical (yes, asymmetrical) sleeve stripes and hood, Lynn strutted down an impromptu runway to show off her stuff! Lynn's sweater is just one of the many great projects coming from the Holley's gang. Sarah showed off her gorgeous Entrelac shawl, and Mary is still working on her Wednesday-night scarf!

A favorite topic of conversation on Wednesday night is what books everyone is reading. Read on for some of our favorite books at Holley's:

Hail to the Chief (Knitter)!



We're so proud of our own Suziko! As the new Madame President of the Dallas Hand Knitters Guild, Suziko presided over her first meeting with guest speaker Emanda Johnson. Emanda gave an interesting lecture about color for textile artists. Although she is a quilter, Emanda had some great lessons and tips about how to use color that can be applied to any craft medium. Especially fascinating was Emanda's "color mashing" technique-using the program "Paint" to identify your favorite colors from a picture! You can find out more about Emanda on her blog.
