Finished for the Not Warm Weather

Since it is almost June I decided to finish my Make Up Your Mind tank. Unfortunately, it hasn't really warmed up enough yet to wear it. Hopefully it will be warm this weekend when we go camping and I can show it off.

It's kind of funny that I love the back more than the front. The horizontal sections with different stitch patterns seem to highlight my midsection (which is not what most women want), but overall I like it and plan on wearing during the summer.

I have another purple tank top that I just need to block and seam the sides. Why I didn't knit it in the round is beyond me. It's been a couple years in the making because it is all boring stockinette stitch and I have lost interest several times. I'm hoping to have it done by next week, but who knows. I tend to put off all seaming as long as possible. Wish me luck!

And of course I had to have my turn to hold her :)

Finished Objects

Just a quick post of some finished projects...yay!

Here is the Felted Fair Isle Bag that I did as a knit-a-long with some lovely ladies in my knitting group. The KAL was done on Ravelry. Check it out here.

I recently finished Anouk. I knit the skirt in the round instead of leaving it as two pieces that you button together. I omitted the pockets and did three flowers across the bottom instead. This will be a gift for a very special girl that will be turning 1 this month :)

Last night while watching the San Jose Sharks lose :( , I finished these socks. They are just basic toe up socks with an afterthought heel. They remind me of Andes candy...the mint chocolate candies. I am giving them away as a Christmas gift and might include some of those candies. BTW, you didn't misread that; I said I FINISHED A CHRISTMAS GIFT. So proud :)

On the needles I have Make Up Your Mind Tank and Calypso tank. Obviously I am ready for summer!
