Last Finishes for 2011

Here are my last 2 finishes for the year. Both were done in time for this year's tree! :) But neither were on my list :( They were in the 2010 JCS Christmas ornament issue.

Now I'm trying to clear the decks for starting Ann Dale on Jan. 1. I didn't do a very good job with my finishing list in 2011. I only achieved 2 of 11. One of them, however, was Margery Dean, which I completed in 10 months. I really, really hoped to finish Shores of HRH, but am only through block 9 of 12. Maybe I need to learn how to make realistic lists!

How did you all fare on this crazy project?

Scarves!

Gift scarves! Finished a few days before Christmas! Yay!

Some Finishes!

I haven't posted here since August so I thought I'd post some of my finishes that weren't on my goal list for 2011. A goal list is just a list and it's ok to be inspired to do other things!

2 Finishes!

A finished shawl/scarf!  Design: Tanta.  Yarn: Malabrigo Sock, color Abril. Needles: Size 6. Love it! Just in time for chilly weather.

Design: Blackbird Designs - a Loose Feathers chart whose name I cannot recall at the moment.  Fibers: Weeks.  Fabric: linen that came with the kitted up chart.  Framing: The Frame Shop, St. Augustine.

Lake Effect Socks

Finished sock, now to cast on 2nd sock.  Design: Lake Effect Socks.  Wool: Dream in Color Smooshy.

Can I get a big ol' "WOO-HOO!"?

Margery Dean - 1748

40 ct. Vintage Basketweave

NPI and Gloriana

I finished her today! This was a lot harder to me than it looked going in. All of the over-one areas were graphed incorrectly, as was part of the border in the lower right. I frogged the words in both cartouches and the left-hand tree. I'm still not completely happy with the word placement, but they're staying put. On to Shores of HRH!

Summery Finishes

Wondering if I'll ever catch up with myself...but have managed to get a few things finished (nothing like a deadline for motivation).  Little kimono sweater & wee matching socks for a coworker's baby shower:

They look so large in this snap but they are tee-nine-sy.


Finally got Olga kitty to the frame shop

And completed this Just Nan birth sampler in the same year of my great-nephew's birth...awesome!

This doesn't show the 9 million color changes...every few stitches argghh and little bees and lady bugs over 1, and the cutest little bunny button...all worth it.

How was your summer?
