Other finished items:
- Lady Eleanor Entrelac Stole (I love it!)
- Alison's orange bliss scarf in ecru Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Superchunky (surprise Christmas gift for know-it-all 17 yr. old daughter)
- Needlecraft University's top-down sweater with set-in sleeves in TeAwa Wools Natural Wools (New Zealand) semi-worsted (which my mother-in-law brought back from a trip to Australia & New Zealand several years ago, and was anxiously waiting for it to become something)
- one-skein hat in Noro Kureyon #92, which I whipped out on the day after Thanksgiving and gave to my grandmother
- 2 pair of camo socks in Twinkletoes sock yarn from Over the Rainbow yarns on ebay; I'm reknitting the legs on one pair, because the recipient says the socks kept falling down when he wore them :-P
- 2 Koigu neck cozies (1 for Mom, 1 for mother-in-law)
- a garter stitch poncho for an 18" doll, based on the one in The Knit Stitch
- an Oregon Vest (pattern from Oat Couture) for my sister -- it was supposed to have been done last Christmas, when I also made vests for my mother and my sister-in-law (brother's wife), but it wasn't done on time and it got cast aside. I really meant to finish it right after Christmas last year and send it, but it languished for a year. All it needed were side seams and a zipper. The zipper was the major factor in the procrastination. But when I finally made myself do it, it wasn't so bad. Not that it will make future zippers any easier to do....
- a cardigan for my niece, pattern from The Knitter's Handy Book of Patterns, made in sport-weight cotton -- really not as awful to work with as I'd anticipated.
Still having issues uploading pics, so I'll quit for now.
