Even More FOs!

Today the sun came out (at least I think that's what it's called) so I took a picture of the scarf outside. I think I would see this color a lot better if I weren't color-blind, but I love it anyway.
I love it because it's mine.


AND, I finally finished a couple of Baby Alberts needing buttons and seams:


The dark one is a wonderful charity project. It took about one skein of WoolEase Sport. I have a bit left, but not a ton. I may try to make a hat with it. If it works out it will really be a perfect charity project. One skein of WoolEase only costs $5. The buttons were about a buck and a half. I meant to have it done in time for the Knitting Guild's Founder's Day luncheon in December, but didn't quite make it because I slept in. The lighter colored one is a project I did for a friend at work who had a baby (several months ago) and didn't get it done in time for the shower, and then he moved to a different location across town, and I just never got it done, and now the baby is too big. The lesson learned is that if I don't make a deadline, I'll procrastinate and procrastinate and never get it done. Today I bit the bullet and put the nose to the grindstone and bucked up and did it. Feels good. I'll give them both to the guild next month, probably.
