FO Friday: A new reflection

I'm really starting to enjoy stranded colorwork. It's challenging, fun, and results in the coolest projects. I only wishing it was colder here in Texas, because they're SO warm!


The pattern is His and Her Reflection Hats from the book Mastering Color Knitting: Simple Instructions for Stranded, Intarsia, and Double Knitting. If you haven't flipped through this one, I would definitely recommend it for learning colorwork. I did this version using Cascade 220, and I think I have more than enough to do a mirror image duplicate!



And while we are sharing FOs, I thought I would share some of my most recently finished stitch markers. Aren't they pretty?


For more beautiful finished objects, make sure to check out Tami's Amis! I can't wait to see what everyone  has to share. And for more Fiber Arts, visit Fiber Arts Friday at Wisdom begins in Wonder.

    Awesome hat, can you make it with lighter weight yarn, like a silk or cotton for the warm weather of Texas? Though, I'd be happy to take it off your hand for cold weather here in Ohio, I could add it to the charity goodness on my other blog, Bridge and Beyond. nudge nudge, lol

    Very nice hat! I made a few stranded hats, they are so quick and look so impressive :-) Your stitch markers are really cute. I just started using them and now I see why they are so addictive.
