Halftime Report, part 2

This scarf was the first project I made for the challenge. I barely am able to even admit I made it, let alone take a picture and show you. The yarn came deep down from the stash, and it harks back to the Scarf Craze, back to when I first had my yarn shop.


This baby sweater is not finished yet, I don't seem to have to time or patience right now to be picking up stitches for a button band. However since it is a baby gift for a little girl born almost 3 weeks ago, I better hurry up! Morehouse Merino pattern, but washable wool from Filatura di Crosa.

Also last week, I started the "fylingdales" sweater from a fine fleece.

Bound off but no ends woven in: a rectangular stole in all oranges and some pink and pale yellow. A total mix of fibers, held double with a strand of laceweight mohair/nylon.

180 sts, size 10.5 needles; stitch pattern: knit on the right side; k1, p1 rib on the wrong side.

This next one took me a week to make, and I loved it...again, a mix of orphan balls, about 450 yards worth of worsted weights; double stranded with Douceur et Soie laceweight kid mohair and silk. It added a fine halo to the whole shawl that makes it look very cozy and elegant. Size 10.5 needles. The edging is 1.5 balls of chinchilla by Berroco.






I can't help it, I love garter stitch in a shawl...

So together with the last post, you can see what I was able to make during the last 2 weeks.

Onward!
