green_dreamsI finished a kerchief. Shawlette. Short triangular scarf-thing. For me. (This is actually relatively rare. It has been a while since I finished knitting that was for me--September, in fact. It feels nice.)
I used The Age of Brass and Steam pattern, and a skein of silk yarn that was a Christmas gift[1]. Decided I wanted to go with a picot bind-off to echo the cogs-and-gears effect of the eyelet rows, and then I did a lot of math and even more swearing to figure out how many repeats I could afford to knit because I didn't want to not-use any of the yarn.
I ended up with fourteen feet and eight inches left over. (Non-knitters: yes, that's good. I explain this to people who don't knit but who are on Steam by saying this is the kind of thing you get an achivement for.)
In other knitting news, I lost one of my two gloves and am just not up to knitting a replacement yet, but I did manage to get several pictures of stash and projects up, and am looking forward to more, so that's all to the good.
