Bloggiversary and FOs

So my Bloggiversary has come and gone (it was on Saturday), and no I didn't miss it, I just wasn't prepared for a post or anything.  So Happy Bloggiversary to me!  I kind of can't believe it has been 3 whole years of blogging for me!  I know I haven't done a great job of it lately, but life happens and I just haven't gotten into the swing of making a new me and knitting at the same time, let alone blogging. I do want to thank all of my readers for joining in my blog-life for the past three years, so Thank You!!  To celebrate I will show you some finished objects.  Don't mind the shaggy hairdo please :)

• Pattern - Lace Ribbon Scarf from Knitty.com by Veronik Avery
• Yarn - Pagewood Farms Bamboo sock yarn, Butterfly colorway - 1 skein
• Needles - US Size 3
• Took me - 3 1/2 months  - procrastinator!
• Comments - I love this scarf.  The pattern was easy to knit and memorize, and since I put it down between almost every pattern repeat I didn't get bored with it.  I love that you can use a variegated yarn and not lose anything from the lace since it is so simple.  I kind of wish I had more yarn to make it longer, but it is a decent size at about 70 inches long.

• Pattern - One Skein Scarf from The Happy Hooker
• Yarn - Rowan Tapestry, just over 1 ball
• Hooks - 9 and 10
• Took me - An evening
• Comments - I'm not very good at crochet.  I think I did the starting chain too tight because it kind of curls when held up at one end.  The stitches on the sides also don't match up exactly, but oh well!  I like the yarn and I do like the scarf, it will do just fine :)

• Pattern - Seamless Hybrid from Knitting Without Tears by Elizabeth Zimmermann
• Yarn - Karabella Majestic, just over 10 balls
• Needles - US Sizes 5, 6, and 7
• Took me - Way too long!  I didn't even write it down in the project notes.  I just know I started it soon after I finished my first EPS
• Comments - I would recommend this sweater to anyone!  It was pretty easy to knit but kind of exciting once you get to join the body.  It is a neat way of constructing a sweater and I don't think it will be the last one I make like this.  Of course, as always, the sleeves ended up too long even though I tried my damndest to get them the right length.  Such is my life ;)

So thanks again for reading and looking and commenting, and I hope to have another great year of blogging fun!  Have a great day :)
