A Few FO's to Report

Hope everyone had a fun Halloween and that you are getting to enjoy some nice Fall weather.  The trees have shed their leaves, but what a pretty sight they were:

                                                                                     


                                                                                 


My Sibella is finished, and I am pleased with how it turned out.    It was a pretty easy knit and Quince and Co.'s Chickadee yarn was so nice to work with.  The color is Bird's Egg:


                                                                           


                                                                         
Now that the weather has cooled down, here is a picture of me wearing my Freeport Vest:


                                                                             

                                                                               
Here is my current project, the Rascal Raccoon Pullover by Celeste Pinheiro.  It's a raccoon worked in intarsia, so there are lots of messy ends to work with, but this is a labor of love for my grandson, so it's worth it!


                                                                                     




I'm using  Plymouth Encore Worsted which is the yarn used in this project and it's mostly acrylic so I hope it holds up well to washing and general use by an active three year old.

Happy Fiber Arts Friday and have a great weekend!  Check out some other finished projects at Tami's blog as well.

  3. You're doing a great job on that raccoon sweater, I wouldn't dream of attempting something this complicated! Beautiful autumn scenes too!

  4. Gorgeous sweater! I've GOT to try knitting something with Quince and Co's yarn sometime. (So many yarns, so little time...and money.) The vest is lovely too! And that raccoon is adorable...and looks incredibly complicated. Great work! Happy knitting!
