I found another 45 gms of Polwarth that I spun and dyed last year to add a crocheted edging. You can see how much yarn I had left in Georgia's hands (and why I call this 8 year old beauty "Peach"). The original scarf used 60 gms (300 yds) and the additional 45 gms for the edging added another 225 yds for this scarf = 525 yds for the entire project. I braided the tiny amount left from the last crochet stitch to make the tie.
Here is a completed picture.. I did finish the socks in time that I will be allowed to move on to Round 2.
I was worried about running out of yarn. I had maybe 3 -5 yards left over. These socks must be knitted as per pattern. They have to be a min. length cuff and for a size 7 or larger.
Tesserae sock pattern by Anne Hanson. I'm using Cascade Heritage and hoping this pattern doesn't really need 450 yds in size large since the ball states 437 on the label. Very easy pattern to do while I'm thinking about starting more complicated projects. I seem to knit him socks on "auto pilot" now that I've made so many air show socks for him. Fred didn't get to the big air show due to an oil problem with the plane (turned out to be a simple fix, whew!) which caused him to return after an hour's flight. Good thing he didn't continue the trip since severe weather arrived mid-way through the air show and some planes were smashed, turned over, destroyed, etc. He's wearing his YFM custom socks to a fly-in today in Bunbury (west of us on the Indian Ocean coast of southwest Western Australia). I still have to replace the cuffs, but he doesn't want to stop wearing them long enough for me to reknit the white section. Can't ask for more as a knitter, can I? :)
I finally finished the baby blanket that I had started many years ago. The yarn is no long available around here. I did order some on line to finish it. It was approx 50% done. This blanket will go home with my Daughter to donate to "Project Linus". Jess is helping a group with blankets for that cause.
Don't think I posted a start picture of this. It was started last year. It was about 25% completed. The handles are recycled from a garage sale purse. No pattern was followed.
This one I had posted with the others. It looked like a dishcloth when posted. I did not follow a pattern just winged it along. So I guess dishcloth to market bag would be 10% dishcloth 90% bag.
52 week challenge

Miss Cook's quilt that I finished up for her. I know not a knitting projects but come on how cute is this. These are the hand prints of last years class.
Blue socks from the sock of the month club. This kit came when I was test knitting for Knit one Purl too. The yarn in this kit and the test knit were the same so these got put away. Glad to finally have them done. I am trying to keep up with the kits this year and to get all the old kits done. We shall see on this.
Another sock of the month kit. Both pair of socks are from Wooliedi.
Here is my progress on my March 52 week Challenge project. I didn't use a pattern - just CO 60 stitches on size 11 circs - K 30 rows - PU 30 stitches along each side and the 60 CO stitches, and then round and round and round - I changed to the green Paton's wool after using up all of one ball of Galway wool, Then back to gray after using up the green, then a little more green and the green straps and tab. The top picture is before felting - about 25 inches tall - the middle is drying and blocking after a hot bath.
