”Isn’t he adorable? ” asks his great-aunt Jan. Ditto from me.

The pattern is adapted from “Baby Afghan” – project #2 in the “Knitting Basics” book by Betty Barnden (Quarto 2002).

Jan and her yarn love affair ..it was angora!

Marlee and Mimi have such wonderful yarns to offer. And most of us walk with a yarn or more purchased. Jan had an immediate love affair. And seeing Jan, don’t you just want to jump into this photo with her.

And then there was Diana….she came as a guest of her sister Karen….who wanted to share the weekend with her. Diana was not a knitter when she arrived on Friday evening. Before the evening was over she had purchased yarn for 5 projects, wound yarn and started knitting later that evening.
