Some odds and ends

Guess what folks? I finished my oldest WIP! I suppose I better change the photo in my blog's header then, huh? :) (it was up there to encourage me to finish it!!)

P1030880

Project: One Row Lace Scarf
Cast on: September 25, 2011
Finished: July 26, 2013
Yarn: Cascade Yarns Luna Paints - 2 skeins
Needle: US 9



One row lace scarf


I mentioned in a past post that I bought this yarn on our way to Yellowstone National Park (and the project I was working on at the time was my first pair of socks, the purple stripey ones! Isn't it funny that I remember that?). I had such a hard time finding a pattern for this yarn! The original pattern I had in mind didn't show up well with the yarn... I can't even remember which one now, ha! Anyway, from the very beginning I wanted to give this to my cousin, and I fiiiinally sent it to her this week!


With all these finished WIPs I needed to fill up my needles again ;) my plan is to not cast on anything new until October!

Cast on #1: Whitecaps Hat  in Malabrigo Chunky (Bobby Blue is the colorway, isn't that the best?)

White Caps hat


Cast on #2: Cowl-Matic in Berroco Ultra Alpaca Light

Cowl-Matic


Cast on #3: Blueberry Waffle Socks in Cakewalk Yarns (Cherry Blossom colorway... I heart it)

 Cakewalk!



What have you cast on lately?
Happy Wednesday!!!!!!!

    Ha ha I love that you have cast on a bunch of projects for the KAL. I had the same idea... just time slipped away from me.
    The finished scarf is pretty. Congratulations.

      Of course, they have to last until October! :) but it is a little self-defeating isn't it?

      Good luck with your WIPs!
