Recently finished items proliferate when there's lost of time to knit. Top picture is of a lacy rib cardigan I designed using Joan Schrouder's top-down-picked-up sleeves. The yarn is Cash Vero by Cascade and nice to knit with. It doesn't knit plain in stockinette as smoothly as I would have liked resulting in the rib pattern.
The second idem is another cardigan I designed myself, knit out of a silk/wool dk weight from Blackberry Ridge in Wisconsin. It stretches considerably when worn, and I'm going to try to get it back to it's original size and shape by washing.
Third picture down is one of a pair of footlets from a Curious Creek kit, knit as a sample for Carolina Homespun. The last two are a pair of "Thumb Only Work Mitts" also a kit, from Kathryn Alexander, and also a sample.
On the needles:
1. top down cable v-neck for Jim, Dream in Color Classy color Nightwatch
2. socks for Ken, Koigu
3. mittens with hidden fingers, in Malabrigo silk/wool for a rapidly approaching birthday gift
4. Shetland Garden Shawl (design by Sivia Harding), for me, in golden lace weight merino
