Where are we?

Where are we at the end of July? Still on holiday, using up raspberries, clicking nicely at Hookery. Fruits of nice labours:

Raspberry cake,

 Prettiest dishcloth,

 Lovely flower,

 Latest throw, is there no end to this Hookette's productivity even in unheard of Irish temperatures?

Is there no end to this Hookette's speed- it took three shots to capture anything other than complete blur of action, and then only because of a brief pause!

Hookery is on again this Wednesday for its second week back after holidays- come!

Hookery, dickery, Dock

Back at the Dock tonight for Hookery, and thank you everyone for a totally relaxed and relaxing, lovely time! Lynne is still rippling.

Catherine is still cabling.

Lorna came tonight- so super to see you, especially modelling our first example of a garment. Hard act to follow!

Discussing garment and other things yarn.

Lynne's progress through the afghan project. Fabulous colours.

Niqi's latest output from the set text, two projects in picture!

One of Lorna's current blankets.

Mags' latest project, as unfinished as the rest, but still brimming with optimism!

Birthday cake, no, torte- we stand/sit corrected, Niq!

Happy Birthday, Anne! For you (and for the Olympics) we rang our merry bells!

Independance Hookery

Hooking on the 4th July- God save America and the Ulster Bank...

Summer School One: meeting four

Back in the Dock at St Patrick's this week. Watching small boys stand amazed under torrential rain.
This week's mystery object. Clue in a post below by Heather. (Not the one about Monsieur Renard- that would be a red herring, but keep with the animal analogy...)
Heather Boss and Queen Niqi have both been working on the set book tea cosy. Heather's is above and is nearing completion. She needed a break from all those flowers today, so went to meet the Queen (the real one) instead. Below is Queen Niqi's completed cosy- her third task from the set book. (Why didn't I notice at the time that you had actually brought the teapot as well?)
She has also rustled up one of Patricia's poppies and pays tribute to the clarity of instructions. Copies available from Guru P on demand.

Lindsay is obviously demonstrating her mother's genes- this is last week's mug cosy, finished, buttoned and she's all ready for her next projcet. Spot her below, earnestly browsing the set text.

No photos of my third attempt at my first task from the set book. Sigh!! Also no photos of Gillian's completed first thing ever. She claims to have left it at home. Methinks this summer school needs some set targets to go with the set text- just for the stragglers like me!

Belated summer report!

Last Wednesday's Hookery report- apologies for tardiness. Spot the hand grenade, mug cosy, tea cosy and then complete the following sentence in no more than six words: I love summer hooking because...

Starting beside the computer and moving anti-clockwise! Hooker one.

Hooker two.

Hooker three.

Knitter four! Aran, progressing most impressively!

Hooker five.

Welcome, Lindsay. Hooker six.

Hooker seven Boss.

And just as unfocused a close-up as you'll get of the Russian poppy! Winner announced and prize awarded on Wednesday- at the Dock xxx
