Projects in September/October 2011

Completed 3 projects during these two months, all for holiday gifts.

Another hat from the Knit Noro book. Actually, completed 2 of the Fair Isle hats. Each one uses 2 colorways of Noro Kureyon (1 skein each) to give the fair isle affect (very effectively, I might add!).

 The Marching Columns scarf uses Brooks Farm Four Play yarn (wool/silk), and a pattern that utilizes the Knit One Below technique. The yarn was purchased at Rhinebeck, directly from Brooks Farm, and the pattern was free with the yarn purchase.

Well, this is my last posting for "My Year of Knitting 2011". November 2011 thru October 2012 will be devoted to using up my very extensive stash (or at least making a dent in it). Look for my next posting in December......
