The Wrap Up
January 1, 2008
I’m gonna do something here I don’t normally do. I”m gonna overwhelm you with FO’s! I really think each and every finished knit deserves it’s very own post. But I have several 2007 Finished Knits that I want to get out there so I can start 2008 off fresh and new.
First up, another Calorimetry, this one is a belated Christmas gift for a friend. Technically it’s not done becaues I haven’t selected a button for it and we all know that’s the most important part. I only cast on 100 stitches, knit on size 8 Bryspun Cirs, using the last of my Panache stash. Man I love this stuff! Why did KnitPicks do away with it? *sigh*
Next up – Baby Hat in the same Panache, it’s a matching set for Mom and Baby see? I think I cast on 64 stitches, worked in seed stitch for awhile then switched to stockinette and started the decreases when it seems appropriate.
Matching scarves for my niece in Carons’ Simply Soft. I was snowed in at my Parents and I had the yarn, so I cranked out a couple of sideways scarves to go with their blankets.
Here is Ashely rocking hers. Doesn’t she look all artsy with the scarf and the markers? She just needs a beret!
Last, but hardly least, the Simple Log Cabin Throw. This thing really deserves its own post because I was seriously tired of knitting it waay before it was done! All that garter stitch and stitches to pick up! When it was done I crocheted a border around it to help bring everything together. It looks really nice and I’m pleased with it, but I wont be making one again! LOL

I guess I can’t accuse you of stalking and copying my knitting projects, since yours are always finished before mine. First the Clapotis, then Patons Shetland Chunky Tweeds, now the log cabin throw! I’ve been planning on posting about my Log Cabin (not finished) later today. You beat me! (Again!)
Great FO roundup!

The scarf does look good on Ashely!! Yay for sideways scarves! Nice Log Cabin throw! The color of that hat and Calorimety are awesome, sad the yarn’s discontinued! Happy New Year!

Great FO’s! I love the blanket. I know what you mean about not making another. I’ve got one on the needles that I haven’t finished.

I did away with the button on my Calorimetry. I sewed the ends together and it works fine!
