Several FOs

post #1 of 9
Thread Starter 
Or maybe I should say "almost FOs" - I can't find my tapestry needle to weave in the ends.

Bathmat - it's a little funky shape because of the garter stitch, but it works pretty well... we've been using it for several weeks now, and it's been through the wash several times.

Sleep Sack - this is my first cable project, it took me about a year to finish. This was one of my first hand-dyes, and I loved how the colors turned out.

Soaker - Curly Purly, I think. Don't rightly remember. This is another hand-dye, and I love how the striping turned out.

Wrap - This is a light-weight wrap-style cover. I haven't put the buttons on yet, since I have no idea on the proper placement. This is one of the few yarns I purchased just because I loved the colors.

Love the sleep sack the most, great work!

You're supposed to weave in ends before calling it finished? Huh.

What kind of yarn did you make the bathmat from? I've been wanting to make one but a little afraid.

I like the wrap soaker. I never made one for my son and now he's 3 and out of diapers. Looks great!

Lion brand Cotton - double stranded. It works so much better than any bathmat I've ever purchased (which are usually polyester) - I can get out of the shower dripping and when I pick up the mat there's no water on the floor. I ran the yarn through the wash before I started the project, but apparently I needed to have done that at least 3 times to get the full amount of shrinkage, because the finished project shrunk massively the second time I washed it.

It's a little early to tell... I'm still gestating.
