FO's

Here's the shawl I made last weekend. It is the Wear-it-as-a-Collar Scarf from the Scarf Style book. It looks nothing like the picture in the book, because I used such a different yarn.



Sorry about the lame picture. I'm home alone, so this will have to do. Major fuzz on my t-shirt is from the wool sweater I took off to take the pic. I used 1 skein of Fiesta Boucle in Burnished Red #2109. This pattern is super easy, but it took a little while because of the boucle. I always say I will never knit with boucle again (because I hate it), but when I saw this shawl on Peggy, I had to try it. Confession, I bought another ball in the Safari color. I must be crazy! I promise next time I will have better pictures.

I also finished my first Rib and Cable sock from IW Fall 2005. It's another Nancy Bush pattern. I'm doing them in Bearfoot, super dark colorway, I can't find the band though.



I wasn't sure I would like this yarn. It has mohair in it and it's not tightly twisted like STR, but I actually love it. It is SO soft! I just have to make the other sock now. I'll start it as soon as I finish the pair I am making for my daughter's friend.
