An actual finished project!!

First, go vote for Jesse! He's in the semi-finals of the Puuurrfect Kitty contest, and he really wants to win! :)

Now for the finished project:
I started my One Skein Wonder on Thursday, and try as I might, I didn't have it done for Estes, but it's done now!! I love it! Here are the pictures of me debuting it yesterday!!

Here's a picture of the right front side, so that you can see the beauty that is this yarn!

And for those that want to see the back, here it is!

Project stats:
I used 2 skeins (they were only 107 yds) of Araucania Patagonia Nature cotton. I am lovin this yarn, it's beautifully dyed and super soft! I used US 8 to knit it up and when it called for a smaller needle, I used a US 6. Otherwise I followed the pattern exactly! I am already planning on making a few more of these!! It's so nice to have a fun summery instant gratification project! Thanks Stephanie for designing such a fun little project!

Hi Stacey! In response to the comment on my blog: I got the neon striped yarn from my LYS. It's Regia Nation Yarn in the color Neon Nation. Wool Needlework has it here: http://www.woolneedlework.com/Yarn/Regia_Ringel_Sock_Yarn_Colors_by_Schachenmayr_Yarn.shtml but the colors are a lot more bright than the pic in the website lets on. Thanks for the compliments!
