Finished!

Finished at last. the Red Scarf is complete! I have delivered it to the delicious Yarn Garden and I feel free. Free to try a Möbius basket perhaps? Free to use that lovely kidsilk haze I got at the garden? Hmm...decisions, decisions!

A few finishers

So I've been working on a few things...

The first image is my premier into lace knitting. The pattern is from "Folk Shawls" by Cheryl Oberle, and its 1/5th size because I didn't have enough yarn. I thought it was a good sample size. I'll use it at as a table topper at work. Matthew said it looked like beetles, I think it looks like horseshoe crabs. Blocking lace for the first time was exciting. It took longer to dry than I thought it would.

The hat was just a cozy thing for myself.

The cat and the bag...Sunshine is making her web debut. She absolutely wanted in the picture. Isn't she loverly? I made that bag over a year ago in crochet, but I had not put the zipper in until now. I am dedicated to finishing my UFOs!

A mysterious pain in my tummy has kept me down for most of a week, but the doc's say they can't find anything amiss so I'm trying to take it in stride.

Roll Brim Hat

Well, I finished the hat last night.

Using the yarn leftover from the finished glasses case and Crazy Aunt Purl's recipe. I like the way it made spiraly stripes!

FO #1 for 2007

Here is the Eyeglasses holder I finished for Matthew today. The yarn I used is Patons Classic Wool (Merino) Color Palais (77436) and it is worked in double seed stitch. Forty-one stitches on size 6 needles. Finished with a braided tie.

I think he likes it. I have enough wool left over to knit a hat, and I've cast on for it. The colors are so pretty I can't resist.
