Holiday stash reduction

I'm back from my holidays now ready to share with you all the items I finished during it.

As I mentioned before I went, I finished the Turbulence U-neck Pullover from Knitting Nature.



It is knitted from Drops Alpaca (garnstudio.com) and some mulberry silk I got here. It's 342 g of stash used.

Do you remember my first scarf with letters on it? Well, here's another one as my boyfriend wanted one as soon as he saw mine. It says his first name(s) Peter Christian - I think it's gorgeous!


It is made from 4 different colours of New Zealand lambswool and a leftover from the Bubble Pullover - that's 3 blue colours and 2 grey colours. It's 90 g of stash reduction.

-- The design and pattern for this scarf is the sole property of Birgitte Zeuner (c) 2007 --


I also knitted some cotton baby clothes to be gifted away. These two items are my absolute favourites when it comes to baby garments! 152 g used.



Furthermore, I did some minor items:

Fingerless mittens of an Italian cotton/viscose/acrylic blend called Kikki and a stripe of some crazy cotton yarn, 56 g:


An Argosy scarf (more narrow than the pattern) from a single skein of Noro Silk Garden - mmm. 46 g:




Last but not least, a pair of socks knitted from a sock yarn with bamboo instead of nylon (I like this invention!), 78 g:


Total holiday stash reduction: 764 g.

Grand total: Yarn used since February 25 when I signed up: 2684 g.
