FO Friday 48: Twofer

No songs today, but actual real life FOs, two of them: go me.

First is Tracy's Shawl that we last saw being soaked and blocked; it was sent as a gift over a week ago, but I haven't heard anything from the recipient. Here it is modelled by Mini Diva:





A lovely pattern in a lovely yarn: Artesano 100% alpaca 4ply in 'Anemone'.

And again, here is Mini Diva in her new vintage sweater, made from only 4 balls of Robin Picasso Chunky in the blue colorway; having succeeded with this, I am very likely to make a purple one for her cousin D. Mini Diva had requested the blue; apparently purple and pink are so yesterday ....




































Engorged with my successes, I am off over to Tami's Amis to peruse those of others ....

FO Friday 38: Proof of Whuppin'

So this week I have two, yes, an amazing two whole Finished Objects to share with you. 'Course, they are small, which helps in terms of speed, and the closest that I think knitting gets to instant gratification.

Firstly, my go-to baby pattern, but this time with a hood. It reminds me of Kenny in South Park. I must impress upon you that I do not watch South Park, but everybody knows the main characters, I guess. The yarn was James C.Brett's Baby Rainbow DK; I didn't like the feel of it at all while I was knitting with it, but it feels a lot better after a wash and some fabric conditioner:

And I have also completed the butt-whuppin' vintage baby cardigan, sewing the buttons on this morning; the yarn is James C.Brett's Baby Bliss DK, which comes in several interesting colorways and is far nicer to work with; a little on the thin side, I'd say, an American sport-weight between 4ply and DK.

So for the weekend I shall be leafing through my patterns, favorites and Ravelry queue for my nextest project ....but I feel there's family birthdates that I must check too ....

Over at Tami's there are lots of other people exulting in their success ...
