Tortoises, nephews, and 'staches, oh my

At this week's lunch, non-sock projects dominated sock projects, thanks to two factors: a sock knitter switching to a hat for his mom, and a higher turnout than usual.

Guy showed off a tortoise glove of his own design (which you should not confuse with a turtle glove) in beautifully soft, fine alpaca. Yes, that's "glove", not "gloves". This tortoise does not yet have a mate.


Gina brought a hat she knit for her nephew, following the Turn a Square pattern by Jared Flood. (Also see the pattern on Ravelry if you're a member.)


In non-knitting news, Fjord sported a horseshoe moustache inspired by Movember. And yes, Fjord is a guy. If the female knitters were trying to grow moustaches, they failed.
