I had a lot of projects out last month for the Olympics and posted about them a little already. Here are some of them yet again just because. :)

New start! Full Moon by Cute Patterns by Maria

I recently discovered this designer and love some of her patterns so much! I think I bought 4 already.. whooops!
Knitted vest for DD- complete!
Skagen Shawl by Berroco for my Grandma
knitted on 4.5mm circular needles with Araucania Huasco fingering weight yarn
That's a lot of projects! And I'm disappointed that I'll be stopping Ballerina Dreams for now to try and finish a smaller project. I have an idea I'd like to find a silhouette of a singer with a microphone, but I've had no luck so far. Thank you all for your suggestions as well, I'm still determining what might be best for my friend. Please keep them coming!
Happy Stitching!

Congrats on the lovely knitted vest finish! :) We can see it more better if you share a vertical image. Great progress on your projects, love the maple leaf and 'see ya later' ones more. I hope you find the right project for your friend. In some of the cross stitch magazines, there are retro themed small designs like cassette/microphone/headphone etc. which are not that small either and can be stitched as a card.
ReplyDeleteGreat progress, beautiful shawl.
