A couple more FOs
I went to a holiday party for my knitting group, and a couple of things happened.
We have a gift exchange, and I got this lovely yarn spun by smallsmallfaery:
It's about 130 yards of Romney, and although it says 11wpi, which is a worsted / aran weight so it will be perfect for my big Chevron blanket*.
And I was thoroughly embarrassed that nearly everyone was wearing a Noro Striped Scarf, and mine (which I started ages and ages ago) was still a WIP. So I got motivated:
Pattern: Noro Striped Scarf
Yarn: Noro Kureyon in colors 40 and 233, 2 skeins each
Started: 1/18/2009
Finished: 12/18/2011
So, just shy of 3 years later I have finally finished my scarf! I feel pretty silly admitting that, but I just don't often get into the mood of knitting something in 1x1 rib. Now that it's done I've been wearing it most days!
Then while traveling for the holidaze, I finished a must more recent project, Melanie's 2011 Birthday Socks.
Yarn: Sophie's Toes in Grandma's Blueberry Pie
Started: 11/6/11
Finished: 12/24/11
Melanie modeled them and had the idea of posing with the lights leading from the tree to the plug, so we did.
*another WIP I really should put some stitches on

And they're not all blue! Granted, the yarn and the socks are, but... there were other colors too!
OK, just yanking your chain... very nice work.
