The swirl

Finally, finally! This things had been languishing in the UFO pile for months, if not years, because I lacked the courage to sew it together. What whimpiness! See how cute it turned out:



The seaming ended up taking something like 10 minutes, but I then spent the rest of the evening (and half a skein) making the dense pom-pom. I'm pleased with the outcome and might even make one for myself. This one is sized for a toddler and will go to a little guy living in Eugene, OR, for whom I've never knit anything.

I went totally nuts photographing this thing. For more pics, check out my flickr site. For the Stashalong project (which I haven't really started contributing to... yet): This project used up 101 grams of my stash.
