I did finish...

...the Garter Edge Fingerless Gloves.

Pattern: Garter Cuff Fingerless Mittens from the book Weekend Knitting (ravelry link).
Yarn: I think it's a Cascade 220 superwash in a deep purple (the ball band was not attached to the yarn).
Modifications: None to the specific pattern, but I custom fit the fingers for my hand.



And...my Canopy Cardigan:

The front edge detail.


This is the fronts and back seamed together and pre-blocked. (I seamed it, blocked it, added the sleeves and then re-blocked [these picts to follow once I take them!]). This was an easy sweater to knit, I did have a little bit of trouble setting in the sleeves, but after I re-blocked, it was fine.

From the previous posting, I've completed two out of the five. The gray hat was frogged, the headband is in my bag going everywhere with me and waiting for the i-cord finishing tie. The skater top...haven't picked it up in a while. That yarn is...well...sort of sticky and the lace takes more concentration than I have right now!

I've also finished a hat for my hubby (again, pictures to come). He liked this version of the Irish Hiking hat (ravelry link).

There might be some other things once I get around to taking some pictures.

Happy October!

It's getting to be that finishing-stuff-so-you-can-wear-it time of year, isn't it??

Yes. Yes it is! Especially since I have such a limited time frame to wear my wool sweaters, hats, gloves...etc!!! :)
