Fiber finishes!

I've been plodding along hand quilting my green & neutral stars quilt for my bed.  With a task that big, one needs some immediate gratification thrown into the mix, don't you think?  So, in between times, I've finished off some of my knitting WIPs.  After all, the cold weather will be here before we know it, and I can't just walk around wearing a quilt!

I see myself wearing this A LOT this winter.  How wonderful will it be to be wrapped in an airy, soft alpaca/bamboo blend rainbow on cold, dreary days?

I used 6 skeins of Classic Elite's Chateau yarn

self fringing, so no ends to weave in - BONUS!!

I also finished this cotton/silk/rayon blend scarf.  Another lightweight accessory to ward off the chill.

I used 2 skeins of Noro's Tokonatsu yarn

No more progress on baby quilts, so I need to get on that this weekend.  One baby is due in October, which doesn't leave me a whole lot of time!
