Some recent, and not so recent, finished knits (a bunch of these links are to my Ravelry projects, so you can read the details there. If you don't have a Ravelry account, why not?)
This modification of Citron was finished a few weeks ago, but I haven't found time to block it yet. Once I find something to actually wear it with, perhaps I'll finally do that step and get some better photos.
This lacy scarf is knit from some Noro Sekku yarn I picked up on an impulse during my vacation to BC. I love the summery colours of it. I'm glad it's cooling off here so I can wear this now.
This little vest I knit for my newest nephew. It's in Knitpicks Simply Cotton Worsted, and I had no trouble getting gauge with this yarn. It's my second time knitting this pattern, and I really like it.
If you follow me on Facebook, this is the hat I was talking about knitting for Lev. I have the instructions finished, but I need help getting photos of it on him for the published pattern. The longest he's left it on his head is about 10 seconds.
And finally, here is a little preview of the new pattern I'm releasing soon!

I think it takes more passion than I have to spend so long doing delicate and long work like this. I used to do vests and sweaters - when I say used to, I'm talking about college and when I was first married, light years ago. That's why the animals work for me - relatively quick, and constant changing of stitching. I envy you. I also envy gardeners, cooks, quilters, sculptors, pianists horse trainers and any number of other people who become really, really good at what they do because they are sort of dyed in the wool about it. I guess I'm some color that changes as you hold it up to the light - everything and nothing. Which is one reason why seeing your work is such a pleasure to me. For the moment, I am in it. And I know that SOMEbody is doing the job right.
