FO Friday

YAY! More Finished Objects! But first off - a photo from last week - Leslye's Hedera's!



Pattern: Hedera by Cookie A. from Knitty
Yarn: Pagewood Farms Sock Yarn in "Meadow" bought at Purl's Emporium in Asheville, NC
For: Leslye of course!
Started November 2007 and Finished January 2008
Mods: Knit by Magic Loop instead of DPN's - otherwise no modifications!

And for this week - my first adult sized sweater!



Pattern: Back to School U-Neck Vest from "Fitted Knits" by Stephanie Japel
Yarn: Cascade 220 Tweed - Pewter
For: Me!
Started October? 2007 (may have been September) and Finished January 2008
Mods: None!

I finished this on Sunday after knitting frantically all afternoon at Knitch. I think I may have actually tried it on 6 times in 4 hours - just to make sure! All in all, this was a very easy knit - even as a first sweater. It's knit in the round up to the armholes - and having no sleeves, the only seams are at the tops of the shoulders.

And - one last photo for you all. Taken a day or two after it snowed last time... I think you may like the..... SNOW CAT!!

Snow Day!!

Oh my goodness - I thought things got crazy here when it rained - but apparently that's nothing compared to when it snows! E. said something about "water-soluble intelligence" when we spoke and he's definitely right about that! And just to prove it - a picture:



This is at work at probably 4:30 or so - and as of right now, it's still snowing... they're predicting rain for the morning, so it won't last, but I'll enjoy it for the evening.

And a work in progress photo for you of the Hedera's. I cast on the second sock probably Thursday or Friday and picked up the gusset stitches yesterday - it's amazing the knitting you can do when you're actually PAST your deadline!



And one last photo - a very belated one of E's fuzzy feet.... I am happy to say he wears them all the time! I may even have to knit some for me!



And - Friday even more pictures.... I can't believe it either!
