Completed Projects

I have finished a few projects that I'm really proud of, so of course I had to snap dozens of photos!  First is a Ridinghood Sweater for my daughter that has been in the works for months.  First I ran out of yarn, then I set it aside because I was tired of knitting endlessly in the round for the full skirt!  I am very happy with the finished project and I'm glad I picked it up and finally completed it.  This was knit with Knitpicks Swish Worsted, a superwash yarn.  Amounts used are listed on the project page.

Next, I completed a set for my children for Christmas.  The vest is an Explorer Vest and the sweater is the long-sleeved sweater from the Charlotte Collection.  They are knit with Cascade 220 Superwash Paints.  This is my second Explorer Vest, and I am so impressed with this pattern - it is written for multiple sizes and yarn weights, and the seamless design beginning with a provisional crochet cast-on is very unique.  The Charlotte pattern is a bit tricky, but this was my second one and it went much more smoothly this time (although there was still a bit of frogging to get it just right!).  The back (photos on the project page) features an increasing rib design, and I love the look as well as the fit.

Next up on my needles are overalls for my daughter and my first pair of adult-size socks - wish me luck!
