Jacquie's Spring to Finish challenge ended on Monday and even though I didn't finish everything on my list, I'm happy with everything that I accomplished.
I was distracted by lots of other projects, so in addition to finishing what I started months ago, I also started a handful of other projects...
1. testing out my new weaving loom (a graduation gift to myself!)
2. Casting on for an Icelandic sweater and my first time using steeking and colorwork in a garment...
(pattern is Hela cardign and I'm using this speckled white and magenta for the yolk colorwork)
3. A May start and finish...this Eternity Scarf made out of Pigeonroof Studios superwash worsted yarn. The yarn is gorgeous and was a joy to work with. It's just too bad that I finished this just in time for 80 degree summertime weather!
(I should have staggered yarn from each ball in this project as there is a big variation in colors. Fortunately the color change isn't too noticeable when I'm wearing it).
Congratulations on all your finishes!

Wow! You did great. I bet that feels so good to check those off the list. Your weaving is beautiful. And the eternity scarf is so classy. Good luck on your sweater!

All your sewing projects are beautiful! The weaving is gorgeous! I can't wait to take my scarf off the loom. I am using my handspun in a red color. That eternity scarf is so pretty. I have 3skeins of the same color and I still don't know what to do with it.

You didn't have graduating on your list and that is a HUGE accomplishment! Love everything you did, esp. my favorite - the Kandinsky!

You definitely got a lot done. Very impressive. My mom's a weaver -- you're going to love it. Once she started weaving, pretty much everything else got tossed aside. She obsessed.
