Recently Finished Objects

I am so bad at titles. Very literal and uninteresting.

I have completed some things recently! Things that were sort of hanging over my head. Aida's armwarmers! I think I mentioned before that I frogged them and knitted the Fetching pattern instead. They are very pretty. I made them a bit longer for Aida. I love the fetching pattern! I made a pair for myself in the recommended yarn. I love them! There is enough non-wool fiber in them for them to not itch me like most animal fibers do. The first one gave me some trouble as I made a few not-paying-attention type mistakes. As I was knitting the second one I realized that I forgot the last cable round on the first one! So, I frogged and reknit with a cable round...that was facing the wrong way! I had bound off before I realized that I had cabled forward instead of back. I guess I got really used to cabling forward with that second one. Frogged again and finally got it right. Luckily the yarn is quite sturdy and looked fine for being frogged twice.

Let's see, what else have I completed? I finished my cousin's mittens and hat but I may have mentioned that already. I also made two ballband dishclothes. I love the orange and yellow best. It is very sunny. These are for my grandma's Christmas present.

I started on my right Broad Street Mitten. I just started on the thumb gussets. I hate thumb gussets, I have decided. I can't seem to make them look nice and neat. I might need to seek out a class in thumb gussets.

Let's take inventory:

Currently on Needles:

Broad Street Mitten
Silk Herringbone Lace Scarf
Moss Grid Hand Towel
Purse

WOW! I am down to four items! I think that is a record low for me. Now if I can resist the allure of casting on socks...or another dishcloth.

Update: Oops, forgot the right hand Fetching I need to make out of bamboo silk. I have the left one completed. Good news is that I am more than half done with the right hand Broad Street Mitten!
