Finished

Here are some finished items! First, the 4-Hour Blanket made with size 50 needles and 4 strands of Homespun (I used Montana Sky, Coral Gables, Sunshine State and Florida Keys).

Here is the other Project Linus blanket. You can't tell here, but it's an awkward size. Really should have made it longer, but I was running out of time and energy, so it is what it is. It's still a nice size for a baby or toddler. You can't see the whole thing in this picture.

Mom's silk scarf is also finished, though I couldn't get a good picture of it.

Here is a rather dark close-up of it while it was blocking - you can really see the feather & fan pattern.

The scarf is short, but I think it will be fine. I wasn't sure how the silk would block, but I looked online to see how to do it and it came out great! It's recommended to lay the silk item out on towels or a blocking board, pin it in the correct shape and then lightly mist it with water from a spray bottle. So that's what I did and it really did work well.
