Catching up on the knitting displays

I'm behind. I usually am :P

First, this tank (which I actually finished before we went to LA, wore it there, but didn't get pics), done in madelinetosh Celadon.




This is a tee I was working on all through vacation, hoping I'd finish in time to wear it. I didn't :P The last 4-5" of stockinette was such a slog. But I love it. And I realized it's my first NON-madtosh garment this year! Crazy! It's a cotton/silk blend from Misti Alpaca and I LOVE it. The garment itself is totally wearable too and I adore the deconstructed raglan.



In an attempt to stashbust and get rid of the almost finished skeins of yarn lying about, I did a couple pairs of mitts.

These, I used up all the rest of the yarn.


These, I still have about 20 yards left so I could have picked off the bind-off...but I didn't. I'll likely just make another headband or something.



And lastly (for now), I'm working on a shawl, the popular Catkin. This one is in madtosh Lepidoptra and Silver Fox. The chart I'm working on requires a lot of counting, so it's a bit slow, but all the projects I've seen say it goes much faster after this chart.


Now off to watch the Women's World Cup and knit some more on the shawl!!
