Miss Ippi - Knit1 Mascot
Miss Ippi in Austin
May 23rd, 2013
Ippi traveled with Susan this week for a quick but marvelous trip to Austin, Texas. She had a most intellectually stimulating trip hanging with the sculptures. She spent some time at the Philosophers’ Rock at Zilker Park. We need some help to identify if it is Roy, Frank or Walter who holds her. We are not so versed in Austin lore.
But we do know Stevie Ray Vaughn and his great music. Obviously, Ippi is a fan. She sat in his arms and gazed at the passersby on the Walking Trail at Lady Bird Lake.
Finally, she hung out at the home of Austin sculptor Peter Bellonci.
She soon will be back at our table spreading good cheer. Wonder where in the world she will be next!

Jenny persevered through 12 skeins of Vintage to make this remarkable blanket. We think it was worth all of the effort. The colors are dramatic and is a blanket but a work of art. Well done Jenny!
Warm weather expands Ellen’s knitting choices. She has moved into fabulous sleeveless tops in summer-weight yarns. The results are exciting.
What is NOT to love about the Shibui Linen Scarf (Shibui Pattern). Leslie used four colors. Patsy used three. Linen is fabulous and we love the weight, the curl, the length. It is all good and gratifying to make. A perfect summer project and addition to your summer wardrobe.
We all are excited by Sandra’s Twisted Vest. It has been a popular project since Linda introduced it to us. She recommended we use the Shibui Linen. Sandra did a blocking class with Kathy to get the pieces just as they should be.
Janet hung in through a few dropped and extra stitches to complete her first post-101 dishcloth project. She chose the Be Sweet cotton striping yarn to create this fun spa cloth. BTW – to make learning even more fun and slightly more challenging to the new knitter, Janet is left-handed.
Susan made this wonderful hooded sweater in Vintage – soft and washable. This will be one very stylish and warm baby. Yay! Hope he will walk the runway with us.
LIllian had a stash of Remix left from the many projects she made with this aran-weight, washable, wonderful yarn. She designed the throw to good advantage. We love what she has created and expect someone is going to be very happy wrapped in it!
