some FOs, come out of hiding

I've been lax in posting on here of late, and it's come to my attention that several finished objects of mine have fallen through the cracks. So here's a post about all of them!

This was one of the most satisfying knits I've ever completed. The pattern was perfect, the yarn was perfect, the color was perfect. I wear this scarf nearly every day.

Whew! My NaKniSweMo entry was a little late; after a few false starts, I chose this pattern, and I'm glad I did. It's superwarm and flattering, too. At least I think so!

This was the beginning of my Christmas Crunch, and what a long, hard process it turned out to be. This pattern, however, was a delight to knit, and my mom loved them so much, she actually framed one of them.

I made a pair of these for both my dad and my grandpa. I really liked the construction of this pattern; it was very thoughtful. And machine-felting them was easier than I would have guessed!

This was for Zach's mom. I was surprised at the quality of the Stitch Nation wool, which was purchased at JoAnn Fabrics. The color was great, but dyed my bamboo needles blue.
