Puff Sleeve Jacket

I finished the Puff Sleeve Jacket (Vogue Knitting Winter 2007/08) knitted in 226 g of Jo Sharp Silkroad DK Tweed, colourway Magnolia. Ready for wearing with summer dresses now that spring has arrived! I'll post a photo with me in it some time soon.

Swatching

I did some swatches today - on the sunny terrace, where I spent about 4 hours today - for some small designs I'm considering to make. Even if I never get around to do anything more about it, I did at least use up 22 g odds and ends. It all counts in the Stashalong - and gives me more room in the baskets :)

I've got lots to show you!

- now that the camera returned from its very first business journey; to Stavanger, Norway.

First up it this scarf made from Habu Wool/Stainless Steel and Spinni giving the contrast between the airy, but crisp, Habu Wool/Stainless and the denser, yet still light, Spinni:

I knitted it up this week in order to give it away as a birthday present yesterday for Peter's sisters 40th birthday - she wears scarves most of the time, so I thought this would be an ideal present. And light: it's only 38 g.

I put my label on it and a small instruction note - almost professinal, right? ;)


In other news, a third elephant has emerged: Just as cute as its sister and brother. I wanted to have one for myself - and use the rest of the yarn purchased for knitting its brother.
It seems that I've been having this urge to clear put the bits and pieces from my stash lately: I've gotten rid of all the sock leftovers and cotton yarn by knitting this!
But since no babies of that size are around for the moment, I'll just keep it until some of our friend or family members produce some - I know that some of them will do so quite soon. Just don't worry/hope that I'll do so myself - I just knitted all this to use up the yarn, knit small pieces and - first and foremost - try out Elizabeth Zimmermann's February Baby Sweater (in front) - beautiful, isn't it?

While clearing out clothes and accessories a while ago I stumbled upon this vest I've hardly been using, knitted from some handspun yarn (read more here). I frogged it and out came the Shetland Triangle from Wrap Style:

Finally, the Stashalong information:

Habu/Spinni scarf: 38 g

Elijah III: 24 g

Baby gear from stash: 292 g

The Shetland Triangle will not contribute to the Stashalong since this frogged yarn was not a part of the original stash pile.

In total: 354 g of stash presented in this post.

I'll count all the baby equipment as one item, giving me 3 finished items in this post (not counting the Shetland Triangle). Added to the other 2008 FO's this gives me another couple of free days for Stashalong. I guess I'll have plenty of those!
