An unfinished object is finally complete. I've been working on these suckers since October! Knit with Wool of the Andes on sixes.

Has a little eyelet motif. I forgot to tell Lanell that the design, "according to Eastern folklore, brings luck and protection to the wearer."

Here is Hugh Wallace in his Baby Bolero (from One Skein). I'm so glad it fits!

This is Blue Sky Alpaca's Organic Cotton. It is unbelievably soft and luscious. I can't put my knitting down.

What is ladymama knitting now? Here's a hint: it's for the baby of the person who made me that needle case.

Brown Shorties

I finished these on Friday. They took twice as long as they needed to because I was working on them at the beach and missing some of my notes, and then I got mysteriously sore and couldn't knit for a week.

Anyways, they are my first experiment with Patons Merino, which was fine to knit with. We'll see how they wear- not sure what to expect with felting and pilling. It only took one skein on size sevens.

For this pair, I included five short rows. The crotch gusset has about 20 stitches.

I did end up fixing the brown pair so they would be the same size before I mailed these off to Lara. I'm pleased with the results.
