In my basket of "almost finished objects" were three scarves in blue.  A few evenings spent in front of the tv turned my works-in-progress into tidy finished objects. 

First is the Cedar Leaf Shawlette from Alana Dakos of Never Not Knitting.  I've made at least a half dozen of these and it's a great pattern from such a nice young woman.   I used just under two skeins of Madeline Tosh tosh dk in the color Well Water.   The yarn is fabulous; it's bouncy, stretchy, soft, just about everything you want in a yarn.  It knits for me more as a light worsted.  The pattern and yarn was a great combo.  Machine washable.


Next is the Oaklet Shawl by Megan Goodacre.  I used one skein of Plucky Primo Fingering in "cryin' icicles" (don't you wish you could also have some fun and name yarn, ice cream and nail polish?)  I ran out halfway through the bind off but was able to substitute with a stash find that matched pretty well.  I enjoyed the easy pattern, and hey, it's a free download, and it would be easy one to modify into a larger shawl.  The triangular shaped kerchief will keep your neck cozy all winter long.   Primo is an extra soft blend of merino wool, cashmere and nylon, so think it's meant for socks.  I know many people love Plucky, this was my first time and I now love it too.  Nice yarn with a good twist an excellent stitch definition.  Machine washable.


The last is the Wurm Cowl, a modification of the Wurm Hat and is an amazing cowl.  I've made it a few times and love the way it can be wrapped twice for extra warmth or worn long when you don't need it.  Either way it's flattering and feels great.  Best cowl ever and I'm keeping this for sure.   The yarn is left over from a long ago sweater that was worn, loved then battered and finally donated.  I remember getting the yarn at Stitches West ages ago at a very popular booth called Tess Designer Yarns.  It is 100% merino wool in light worsted weight and was beautiful to knit and it's super soft.  As a sweater it pilled like the dickens, but won't have to worry about that with a cowl.



Many thanks to Sylvia for letting me photograph my knits in her lovely shop, Atelier Gray.  Come back on Friday and I'll give you the grand tour.  Here's a preview!
