More FO's

I've managed to finish a few more projects -



PATTERN: Scarf of my own design,
YARN: Jo Sharp Alpaca Kid Lustre, 1 1/2 balls of Brew, 1 1/2 balls of Cassis.
NEEDLES: 4mm

I knitted this to use up left overs from my Origami Bolero but I ended up needing more yarn than I had and now have the same amount left over from this project - have to come up with something else to make!!


PATTERN: Origami Bolero from Knit 7 by Jo Sharp.
YARN: a huge selection of Jo Sharp yarns
NEEDLES: 5.5mm
SIZE: A

A really easy knit and I must admit I got a bit bored with it. Sewing in all the ends was painful and I actually had the knitting finished a while ago but only just got around to this step yesterday. It looks better on than the photo shows but its hard to take a photo of yourself :), before knitting it I liked the look of it as a jacket better (worn 'upsidedown') but now its finished I think I'll end up wearing it the bolero way around more.

PATTERN: Hat in Fisherman's Rib from Handknit's to Wrap and Adorn by Cleckheaton
YARN: Bendigo Classic 8ply
NEEDLES: 4mm
SIZE: 6-8 years
Knitted for Knit4Charity CoTM - Knitting for Brisbane's Needy. I'm a bit disapointed that I only so far have I thing finished for this - though I'm going to try and make a bit more over the weekend. I did start another hat but frogged it as I wasn't happy with the way it was turning out.
It feels good to have a few more things finished and to work through some of the stash.....
