July 2013 Update

 
These are projects I've finished in the last few months (since March).

Patchwork Baby Blanket (#16 from 60 Baby Quick Knits) - yarn is Cascade 220 superwash, purchased from a variety of places. I tried various color combinations, and finally settled on the colors shown in the book. Finished at the end of May. A gift for my new grand-niece!

Dropped Stitch Scarf - there are many variations of this pattern. This version is from The Blue Purl in Madison, N.J. This is the second time I've made this scarf; the first one was a gift and I liked it so much, decided to make one for me! I used Blue Heron Rayon Metallic in Mossy Place/Copper, purchased at Stitches East in 2011.

Tulsa Scarf - the pattern and yarn is from Shibui, purchased at a store in Basking Ridge N.J. that is no longer in business. I purchased it sometime in 2011. The yarn is Staccato.

Re-Su Katabira- from Knit Kimono Too (by Vicki Square). Used Twisted Sister Hand Painted Mirage (a cotton blend), and completed it in time for our vacation in June. Purchased the yarn at Gazebo Plus in New Hope, PA, a very long time ago. I kept changing my mind about what pattern to use, and finally decided I wanted it for this spring/summer.The pattern is on the cover of the book. It came out great, and I wore it a lot in Paris!

Groove Scarf - from Stephen West on knitty.com. Used Fibre Company Acadia - 2 colors, purchased at Down Cellar in Basking Ridge, N.J. at their Super Bowl Sale.
