Finally Finished Friday

 There is a few this Friday that I have been saving for Friday Finishes.

First up is a test knit that I started last year for Beth Macdonald Stone, Get Out of the Pool Tee DK Version.  Knit in pieces with the intention to omit pooling in the knit.  This was a fun knit to watch as my yarn colors emerged from the skein.  


I'm not a super fan of sewing up sweaters, and I have to admit, it took me a couple of weeks to actually sit down and do it, but finally I did and it wasn't so bad and now,  I have a new sweater for Summer dresses!


And with jeans or crops, as I discovered this morning for pictures on a real body, not just Miss Manny. 


Second on the list is Twistmas Hat by Espace Tricot.  I used Drops Air from a sweater I knitted a few years back.  The pom came first, I bought it and then went to PYS to see what I could knit a hat out of.  


I have enough Drops still to do some mittens and now that I have worn the hat out in cold this week, so now I am stoked to cast some matching items for my hat.


Last up this week is my Flax sweater, another 2024 WIP that I have been really just knitting on down at my local yarn shop.  Base yarn is some deep stash Sunday Knits yarn that I have had for sometime.  I bought the Suri to go with from my local yarn shop and the two of them together are scrumptious!


A cozy sweater that is going to get a lot of wear around here at Chez PJKnits!


It feels so good to have some 2024 WIPS in my journal checked off!!
