D is for Done!


I have a finished object to blog for you!!! I am so far behind in the ABC along, I thought I would use this post to fill in for D for which I could not think of an good entry anyway. Dog was already done and I thought about Dragon for a bit, but, well, lagged on that as well. So, you get an FO. Hmmm. Maybe I should have used it for F instead.

I am finally done with That Little Scarf, my first Anne Hanson pattern. I love how this turned out. It was a real pleasure to knit and I'm certain I will make this again.

I love the way Anne's patterns have the line by line instructions as well as charted instructions. Everything is clear and easy to figure out.






The yarn is from The Woolen Rabbit, her Opulence Silk blend. It is a perfect yarn for this pattern.

I have never blocked a piece before which tells you something about the types of things I knit. Blocking is amazing. I loved the scarf before I blocked it, but it became quite another creature after blocking. It is smooth and soft and the morning glory pattern shows very well.

I feel pretty pleased with myself.

In another fit of creativity, I made these for a work event on Tuesday. I was extremely proud of these as well. (and they were gone pretty quickly.)
