Stash Dash FO #3

My third finished object for Stash Dash is the College Sweater.



The pattern is out of the book Strikk meir til Nøstebarn by Kathrine Gregersen, and it's in Norwegian. I knit it out of Drops Merino Extra Fine, and it's been dormant for a few months. I knit the sleeves and the body just fine, then I joined the sleeves to the body and promptly ran out of yarn. I had to order another skein, but it was out of stock so I've waited a good two months for it to be delivered. It arrived 3 days ago, just in time for Stash Dash! I'm so pleased to have it done, it's a simple raglan and a nice palate cleanser, but I was feeling so over it by now.



So far I've got 864,3 meters/5000 meters for Stash Dash.



Stash Dash FO #2

My second finished object for Stash Dash are my Diamond Gansey Socks.



They're knit out of The Uncommon Thread Tough Sock in the colorway Golden Praline on needles 2.5mm. The pattern is by Wendy D. Johnson. 



I bought this skein at Loop London back in 2013 during our honeymoon, and I've been hoarding it ever since, waiting for the right pattern to come along. I'm glad it's knit up now, because we are visiting London again this summer and I have a feeling my carry on will be rather full on the way back.



So far I've got 468,9 meters/5000 meters for Stash Dash.
