Pattern is from Knitty. I used 2.25 hanks of Shibui Sock in Bark and 1 hank of Socks That Rock in Lovers Leap. Because I only had one ball of the STR, I had to do less stripes on the arms. I removed the first three sets of stripes and ended up with the just a few yards left over. I also only did half the amount of side decreases (I believe I did it at the beginning of every contrast color). I did the buttonholes but I am thinking I prefer it without the buttons.
Very very pleased with how this came out! I am already planning another. :)

SewConnected April block
John sent his fabrics last week. And since I still had to do the March block, I sat down and designed both then cut them in preparation for a sewing Sunday. I am pleased with how both turned out!

Finishing Party
Saturday we all gathered at Ro's house to sit down and finish up some knit projects. Susie, Justina, Spencer, Chauntel, Catherine, Jaime, Gwen, and I were all there to drink coffee and knit. It truly was a fun day! And I know both Catherine and Justina finished some projects and I sewed together my Tempest sweater.
This picture shows what kind of day it was. :) Nice n' easy. The photo set is here.

Silk Kerchief
Pattern: Silk Kerchief
Yarn: Silk Garden Sock
Colors: 245, 269
The pattern calls for a specific amount of repeats but I went until I ran out of yarn. I did 44 repeats. I also ended with a picot bindoff for a bit of 'flair'.
