Proof I have been knitting.

I finally have some pictures of my FO's to share with you.

Ballband Washclothes



Pattern: From Mason-Dixon Knitting
Yarn: Lily Sugar n' Cream in various colors
Needles: Brittany Art Deco Straights Size 6/4.0mm
Modifications: I only did five repeats of the pattern before ending with another repeat of rows 1 - 8. They turned out to be the perfect size for a washcloth.

Basketweave Scarf


Pattern: Crazy Aunt Purl's Magic Scarf
Yarn:
2 balls Noro Silk Garden in Colorway #205
Needles:
Brittany Art Deco Straights Size 6/4.0mm
Modifications: I cast on an extra six stitches. Before starting on the basketweave pattern, I knit 5 rows of Garter Stitch. On the basketweave pattern, I knit the first three and the last three stitches of every row to form a garter stitch border. I ended the scarf by knitting another five rows of garter stitch before binding off.

Clapotis


Pattern: Clapotis
Yarn: Plymouth Suri Merino, Color # 500, A little over 7 balls
Needles: Clover Bamboo, US 6/4.25mm
Modifications: I added an extra repeat in the increase section for a wider Clapotis.

Alien Illusion Scarf


Pattern: Alien Illusion Scarf from Stitch n' Bitch: The Knitter's Handbook.
Yarn: Brown Sheep Nature Spun I skein each of #109 Spring Green and #601 Pepper
Needles: Brittany Art Deco Straights Size 6/4.0mm
Modifications: I followed the pattern exactly as written. However, I opted not to fringe.

Buttonhole Bag


Pattern: Buttonhole Bag: The Unpattern from Mason-Dixon website
Yarn: Reynolds Lopi. 2 balls each of #9972 and #9983
Needles: Clover US 15 24" circular needle
Modifications: I followed the pattern exactly except that I decided to change colors right as the decrease section began.

Yay! Another Alien Head scarf. Somehow yours looks neater than mine. :( I think my knitting was a bit too loose & I should have gone down a needle size.
