What we’re learning from our Knitting and crochet:
Catherine’s comfort knitting is the Socky Slouchy Hat by Lauren Sanchez. She’s using a Canon Hand dye sock yarn in a deep black and periwinkle. Lauren Sanchez https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/socky-slouchy-hat. And she continues her search for the best gauge to use for a potholder with the Knit Picks Dishie Twist.
Margaret is also searching for comfort and returned to Arne and Carlos for their basic bird.
https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/basic-bird. And she picked up the black bird project she tried from Nikki Figikoska’s book: Knitted Birds. She started it a couple of years ago but put it aside when she stuffed it and it looked more like a rat than a bird. She was prepared to rip the whole thing out but as she began to take the stuffing out she noticed it began to look more like a bird so with a little shifting around she has a beautiful bird in a bright aqua and stellina scrap yarn.
She also discovered a list of collective nouns on the wiktionary collective https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Appendix:Glossary_of_collective_nouns_by_subject
