Over in the Bohoknitterchic group on Ravelry we've been doing a 10 project challenge, where the goal is to knit or spin 10 projects from our stash of yarn and fiber before buying more yarn and fiber. I've been knitting busily for a couple of months now, but I haven't shown you any of my projects!
Up top there is my Featherweight Cardi, a design by Hannah Fettig, knit in Knit Picks Shadow Tonal. It fits just right and I'm very happy with it. Our local knit shop Stash is doing a Hannah Fettig KAL, so you'll see quite a few of her designs walking around Corvallis soon!
This one is my Girl Friday Cardigan, the quintessential tweedy, cable and lace, shawl collar cardigan. I used Kathmandu Aran that I had from frogging my Pimlico Shrug. I found some lovely $5 buttons and fortunately only needed three of them! It's perfect I think..
This cowl is just a simple K3P1 cowl knit from some of Savetheplanknit's hand spun. I won it in the TdF and Ravellenic Games in the Boho group. It was wonderful bobbly thick and thin stuff and I love how the cowl came out!This hand spun is from some more of my local Romney and BFLlocks from Ironwater Ranch. I added wee silver bells to it and it's for sale in my etsy shop here.
This circle scarf/cowl is a test knit for my friend Shannon, which I knit with some Hobbledehoy Fiber that I'd spun while wrapping with a metallic thread. I love the colors and couldn't bear to sell it in the shop, so I knit with it!
And this one is Avery from Melissa LaBarre's pattern. I knit it with some super soft Berocco Pure Merino, which has for some reason been discontinued. It's the best accessory, goes with everything, easy to wear, lovely texture..
There are a few more things done recently, but I'll share those another time!

These are beautiful knits! I especially love the blue of the featherweight and that lacy sweater!
Great spinning!
