Hmmm, a little rush of FOs around here for June! Makes up for the April and May drought!
T-twist has been finished for a few weeks. I love this, but don't particularly like the short sleeves. The top's far too warm for hot weather, and if you're planning to knit this in cotton angora, make longer sleeves, and wear it in the cooler weather! I'm now going to knit a cover-up in the same yarn. Just not yet. In the Autumn!
Pattern : T-twist tee, Spring 06 Knitty.
Cotton angora might shed, but it's delightful to knit with!
Cotton garter stitch rug is also finished.
It's a bit wibbly wobbly here, just off the needles, though I doubt I'll block it!
And last, but not least, baby cardigan #2.
The yarn is Rowan's cashsoft dk, originally bought for a patchwork blanket, but I'm now going for a one colour blanket (to be decided). It's from Knitter's Almanac by EZ (and there's another version of this in Vogue's American Collection).
And the other stuff from June:
Oh, and I've started a few more things - couple of tops, and a second pair of socks. They're all in incubation stage though, with maybe an inch or so knitted, not quite ready to be included in my wips.
Let's just say that there are a couple of prospective Project Spectrum July wips there!
gosh you've been busy. I've bought some of the cotton angora for the tee too, but I was planning to make it in long sleeves because I thought the yarn would be too warm.. oh and I need the long sleeves to hide the sausage arms...heehee but I'm telling everyone that it's because the yarn is too warm;-)

Wow! This is what I call an avalanche of FO's! Congratulations are in order! And I see that your needles haven't had really time to cool off!

I'm very impressed with all the finished objects! Nothing like half done objects to swell the number, I think. I've got a few of them, with the end in sight, myself.

You have been very busy!! What is the difference between Blue Skies organic and (I assume) non organic cotton. I bought one skein of the organic and although beautifully soft, it sheds like nobodies business. Does the other shed as much? Shea loves it though and is knitting a hat in the round. Happy knitting.
