Summertime Sums

I've never been brilliant at math, but here goes:
Four swim team practices + two swim meets per week since the beginning of June = lots of knitting while I wait! Here are the finished objects and fruits of my labor--- in reverse chronological order ;)

#5 A little Kerchief Scarf from Last Minute Knitted Gifts
in Handmaiden Great Big Sea Silk, colorway "Woodland"




#4 Shawl That Jazz by my talented friend Samantha
Handmaiden Camelspin, colorway "Pumpkin"
I loved knitting this so much, it was bittersweet to have it finished. I've been toting this thing around with me everywhere--- as if it were one of those little dogs that have been the popular accessory of late!





#3 My appropriately named Summer Sox by Cookie A.
Fiberphile Alchemy Super Squish in "Just Peachy"
The pattern (free from Classic Elite) was very easy to memorize; I highly recommend:





#2 Tellum, another test knit for "Talented."
Blue Skys Alpaca Worsted Hand Dyes in color #2012




#1 I don't think I posted a follow-up to my "too small sweater." After knitting a second time and attending a blocking tutorial courtesy of the designer, A Little Something also got done:





P.S. I've started another little project. I don't suppose--- *splash!*--- you've guessed what's inspired me? ;)
