Some Recent FO's

[carynb]

I've finished a few projects recently, and thought I'd post a few pictures...

First up, my one and only Noro scarf. The pattern's pretty simple, and all the design comes from the colour in the yarn. I haven't stopped wearing this scarf since I finished it!



I also finished a miniature Clapotis. This was done with 4 expansion and contraction repeats instead of 7, and 7 body repeats instead of 13, to try to size it down for a 4-year-old. She saw me knitting a full-size one for a friend for Christmas, and asked if I could make her one, too. Her birthday's Sunday, and she'll get it then. Hopefully, she'll like it. It's done in a superwash merino.



Finally, I finished the GoddessKnit's Victorian Romance Shawl. I'm tempted to re-block it a little more circular, but it's comfortable to wear the way it is, so I probably won't bother. Besides, I don't think I can find a place big enough to block it that way. I used Knitpicks Gloss Lace.

They are all very nice-looking! Is that Noro scarf just simple knitting in the round with self-striping yarn? I've never used Noro yarn (yet).

WOW.

The Noro scarf is actually knit back-and-forth in a 1x1 rib, using two different colourways, alternating after every two rows. Here's the pattern. It's really, really simple to do.

I actually used Silk Garden Lite, and it was real easy to work with. I heard a lot of complaints about knotted and broken yarn with Noro, but I saw none.

That's a lot of work! Beautifully done. The lace just looks intricate and marvelous.

Oh so pretty. And all in such lovely colours too.

Great work! The shawl is just awesome with all the pattern in the lace.

Thanks! I love doing lacework, there's just something about being able to create something that looks so delicate that just feels like really accomplishing something, y'know?

[carynb]

Thanks! I love the colours, the Noro scarf especially.

Thanks! I love doing lacework, and I'm somewhat addicted to GoddessKnits' mystery shawls. That was her 2009 Anniversary mystery, and it was a lot of fun to do.

Thanks!

They are all lovely. I have finished knitting anything this year! I feel so unaccomplished. :(

[carynb]

Thanks! I've been on a bit of a "finishing up" kick lately, so some stuff that was almost finished got completed. The shawl had been almost done since last October, for instance, when I put it down for Christmas knitting. *g*

Those darn holidays always seem to leave personal projects in the dust. :)
