During February, I did finish my February 2011 socks, 2 linen washcloths, and my Lacy Summer Top. I also felted The Surprise Bag that I finished in January and I worked (a little) on the Baby Scrap Afghan.
The DLS: I hate finish work.
Because of that, the only FOs I have to show for my efforts today are the two linen washcloths that I made:
I used Louet Euroflax Sportweight in the goldilocks and jungle green colorways, with US 2 needles to get gauge. Since I was participating in the "February Library Challenge: For your home" in the Stash Knit Down group on Ravelry, I killed two birds with one stone by making some washcloths using patterns found in Knitter's Stash.
I really did not enjoy knitting with this yarn...it's pretty stiff, but I hear that it softens up beautifully after washing - and it probably gets softer the more it is washed. I am looking forward to that.
I bought this yarn at The Woolie Ewe's annual end-of-the-year sale in December of 2007.
I still have that Louisa Harding Sari Ribbon...I don't remember why I bought it, but it was a deal! I also still have the alpaca yarn (the tan, grey and cream yarn) but have plans to make socks and fingerless mitts out of it. I used the pink and green Cascade 220 to make My Constant Companion, also out of the Knitter's Stash book. I made washcloths out of the blue, green, red and yellow yarn in the front.
Y'all have a great weekend!
MK out.
