3 FOs to end 2007

First FO is the reinvented Snicket sock into a pair of Ravenishes.

This is made with the summer installment of STR. I hated the original pattern that came with the yarn, so I first tried using the Snicket pattern. Unfortunately, the sock was too tight, so I used the cuff pattern of the next STR sock club pattern Lenore and repeated it to make Ravenish. I ribbed the bottom of the foot so that they would fit a bit snugger.


This brings my 2007 sock total to 10 pairs! That blasted my goal of beating 2006's total of 5. And of course I still have 4 lone socks that are without mates. Can I beat 10 in 2008?


Second FO to end 2007 is the Naughty/Nice Scarf!

I love how this turned out. It still needs to be blocked to soften it up and keep it from curling, but the girls are there! You look at the scarf straight-on it just looks stripped, but then you look down and Wow!


And last FO of 2007, this was finished just yesterday at about 4:30pm.

Soy-trelac scaft! Using a modified version of the entrelac scarf from Scarf Style and Patons Soy-Wool yarn, this scarf was started many months ago, but when I found it earlier this week, it took me only about four days to finish. If I had been monogamous with it, this scarf is probably a one week project.


So out with the old and in with the new...

Wow! congratulations! the naughty/nice scarf looks great -- well, everything does, but remembering what a pain the written pattern is, I think it deserves special mention. :-)
Happy New Year!
