Finished Projects Jan-June 2006

With only three balls of Manos Del Uruguay! I love the stuff, but it's too expensive to sit in my stash. . .I don't understand knitters who save their expensive yarn. Red Heart can sit in the stash, anything I buy at Purl cannot. Pattern from Last Minute Knitted Gifts























Variations on a theme. Guy's wearing his hat, and below is the one I'm going to give my Dad for Father's Day. There were a few more hats knitted around that time--I was a hat-knitting fiend in February--but they've been given away.




















Guy continues to pose for posterity. This is the Afghan of Doom--for pattern, Ask Cordelia, if you're a masochist.








My first adventure in knitting lace! Of a sort. That poor yarn was re-knit about ten times, and this was what I could live with. I don't think this pattern is reproducible, since it's just a screw-up of English Mesh.
















Me posing for a Gap Ad. Hat and scarf set for my sister as a graduation present when I thought she was going to college in San Francisco. For pattern, Ask Cordelia.















Beach Bag knit for my sister once I found out she was actually going to college in San Diego.
