And umm – it’s been done for quite a while, I’ve just been lazy about posting even though I have lots to say!
Here we go! This is made from 2 skeins of Lorna’s Laces Shepherd Sock in the Bittersweet colourway. I couldn’t be happier with it.
In progress:
In all its 7.5″ long glory, thanks to a bit of a miscalculation about loom waste (in that, the average amount of loom waste does not equal MY amount of loom waste on my loom):

Detail of the weaving:
It’s just lovely, in my opinion. I was regretting buying the yarn for socks since nearly every project on Ravelry had such hideous pooling with it, but it’s perfectly suited to weaving I think! If I make any more as gifts, I might go a tad wider, and definitely a bit shorter. I’d use this yarn for weaving again.
I have finished a few other things, which will be forthcoming soon. Right now my big news is that I’m performing surgery on my forlorn Tilted Duster. The pictures are a touch gruesome, but if I’m as clever as I hope I am, I will be back with a much better fitting coat. Or 6.5 balls of frogged yarn, with 1.5 balls unused surplus, all of which could be re-purposed to a garment that will actually bloody fit. I had a hard time finding something on Ravelry that I liked, so if I had to rip this out, it will probably be something of my own design.
In a hideous breach of my self-imposed yarn embargo, I ordered 4 skeins of Cascade Eco+ in Plum. I will be making a Sylvi. Rubber room on standby, thanks. I don’t actually think it’ll be hard, just time consuming. I am overcome with need for that coat. NEED. Pattern has been purchased, and it’s stunningly clear and well laid out. The ladies over at Twist Collective know good editing! I’ve been happy with every pattern I’ve bought from them.
More finished objects coming soon!
Ooh, that scarf is lovely! The sock yarn works really well, it looks almost like a check pattern, without the difficulty of actually weaving a pattern!
Love the tassels too.
That looks awesome! I’m always afraid of getting striped yarn because of the potential of bad pooling, but what you have there rocks.
Oh congratulations on tackling the duster again. It’s going to work this time I just know it. hee hee on breaking your yarn embargo. I broke mine yesterday at the fair. There was a skein the exact color of the marigold on my table… don’t know what I’ll do with it, but I couldn’t leave that color behind!
