Here are some projects I completed in Fall 2009:
Flit 'n Float
Completed September 22, 2009

I really enjoyed working on this project, there was a ton of charts but I found the ruffle came out really lovely. I only had one skein, so I had to scrimp towards the end, and just barely had enough yarn to finish. My blocking wasn't too successful, it tends to crumple back up after wearing it for a few hours. I've gotten lots of nice compliments for it.
Vernal Equinox Shawl Surprise

The Vernal Equinox Shawl Surprise. My first full scale lace shawl. I don't think I will do surprise patterns anymore, as I wasn't too happy with the final result of this. But it's comfortable, and it looks very pretty. I find the patterns for each round don't really related to the others. Unfortunately I don't haven't enough foam squares to block it out, so I know it will be huge. It was definitely a challenge to complete it. It ended up in a bag in the corner of my living room for about six months before I finally pulled it out again, and finished it at the end of September.
wurm
Completed October 31, 2009

So I had a ton of this Zara solid that I bought on a whim, without really looking at the yarn. And then I needed a hat, ASAP. So I made this loverly little wurm hat. Turns out, this yarn isn't great with holding it's shape, so it's a less then stellar hat.
More tomorrow...
