Entering the home stretch - another project done!

Pattern: Cherie Amour, modified to become a skirt
Yarn: Lion Brand Wool-Ease Chunky
Needles: Size 13, 9, 8 Boyle Circs
Started: August 8th, 2008
Finished: August 23th, 2008
I just finished weaving in ends on my Hiipie Tunic Turned Skirt - and folks, it is fantastic! I love how soft it is, and it holds it's shape well dispite being a little heavy. The lace at the bottom keeps it from being too warm. Also, the hint of purple in the color will go nicely with the plums and grapes I've seen for fall. I can't wait to buy a new top to go with it!

I had to bind off SUPER loose to allow it to stretch as much as the fibbing does.

Here you can kind of see the yoke "pannel." Next time, I think I'll start those decreases sooner and make the yoke a little deeper.
Ta Da!

Alright! I finished my Toddler socks, which turned out to be more premie than toddler. Here is Zeke modeling them for me:


And here they are in all their glory. I thought the stripes matched fairly well. However, I do believe one is a row shorter than the other one. It's barely noticeable, but it kind of bothers me.

I still have 38g of this yarn left. One could easily make 3 or 4 pairs from a single ball. Enough for me for now though - I have to finish my other projects!
