A bunch of FO's


I've been knitting up a storm. Since starting work at The Knitting Bee, I've been trying to finish a bunch of projects. These first three are ones that I've actually started since I started at the shop. 

Vintage Fremont by Jami Brynildson. This was the free pattern from The Knitting Bee during the Rose City Yarn Crawl. I dug through my stash and found some beautiful green Malabrigo Sock yarn. It was a fun, addictive knit. I've already started the next one with some dark Dream in Color Starry. 


Norwich from Berroco.com made out of Berroco Floret an acrylic and cotton yarn. This will be a shop sample. 



Just a silly Ruffle Scarf. I've never used and ruffle yarn before so decided I needed to try it out in case I ever had a customer come in asking about it. I used a yarn called Euro Yarns Broadway. Pretty purple and blue with the silver bling in it. I may never wear it, but it was a fun knit. 



This sweater I finished a long time ago, but didn't get a picture until this week.  Flint by Samantha Roshack. I used Woobu in Manly Yes, But I Like It Too. It's a perfect gray color. 


I have a couple of other hats I've made, but haven't taken pictures yet. Maybe next week.

Sweater pictures



So, I am mostly done with my lilac colored sweater. I say mostly because I need to sew on 2 buttons and I might rip some of it out. If I decide to redo part of it, it would be the collar and button bands/buttonholes. I don't know yet. I'm going to wear it for awhile and decide in another week or two. It's not as fitted as I wanted it to be, but a few tucks/darts here and there might help it. I love how it feels, it is so soft, and I love the buttons!! I didn't get a good photo of them, but they are almost the same color as the sweater, with a cluster of inset ivy leaves, kind of a cream color. The way they are iridescent makes me think they might be abalone or something like that. No sun out today, that's why I am in the bedroom taking this picture.
