My Rockin' Bandit scarf made from STR Deck the Halls. I need to block it, but here's a sneak peek at its wearability and beauty.
Remember Tuscany from the book No Sheep for You? (Click on the Tuscany label to see orginal posts on this.) It should have been a quickie knit but I think it took me over a year to make this puppy. I lost patience with it every few rows. Nothing wrong with the finished product, it's huge and luscious even without blocking; I just got frustrated with the huge number of stitches after a while. Super soft warmth coming my way this fall! (Upper photo is color accurate.)
The final shawl that is off the needles but needs blocking is Charlotte's Easy Shawl. Remember this yarn from Rhinebeck '08, gifted to me by my sister? It used all 250 yards of yarn in one skein of Potluck yarn. It will block at least twice as big and will be a cozy shoulder warmer.
Finally we have Ursa. The Back & Front panels are off the needles. I will seam the shoulders & pick up the neck stitches this afternoon. This is a fast, fun pattern that I'd make again in heavier yarn. Can't wait for Rhinebeck so I can sport this cardigan!

I LOVE everything. Rockin' Bandit is absolutely gorgeous. I am so glad you recycled the Alpaca yarn for Tuscany. Who cares how long it took to knit? I think I've got a couple projects that have taken longer and still need to be finished. LOL Can't wait to use my Persimmon yarn for my own shawl. I printed the pattern out tonight. We are going to be styling this October.
you'll have so many wardrobe options for Rhinebeck. Love it all, especially the Rockin Bandit. It looks really neat in its unblocked state.
Oh wow, Rockin Bandit looks amazing. Nice photo too. With Bandit and Tuscany, I anoint you the queen of lace. You'll be wearing your knitting proudly at Rhinebeck.
I really like the pattern in the shawl/scarf.
