…whoa it’s been a while. I’m two months into journal #19 and have five bits of yarn tied to the elastic band, which means I’ve finished five projects. But none have been shared here; and until an hour ago I didn’t have finished photos of those projects (plus a few others) on Ravelry either. I’m honestly not sure why I’ve been so remiss with the FO photo shoots, especially because Madeline is such a striking model!
She’s been wearing my Meadowsweet Shawl (fka “Meadow Mystery”) for weeks now; happy coincidence that the Prairie colorway looks so wonderful in my study!
She stands near a west-facing window that gets lovely afternoon sunshine.
Perfect for modeling shawls,

I also added photos of my Irokata Tee

and Folded Poncho.
This poncho is probably my favorite finished piece of the past few months. It’s knit in a lightweight cotton/silk blend yarn that’s been great for the late summer/early fall, but it’s just about time to put it away for the season. I have some Jo Sharp DK-weight wool in my stash; as soon as I knock out a few more projects, I think I’ll make another poncho for the winter.
So yes, I’m still knitting… and finishing. I just need to get better about the photographs!

all very lovely-how's the featherweight coming?!
The sweater looks wonderful on you! All your finished projects have the "Mary". Your neutral colors, soft and subtle, look fabulous on you. The folded poncho may be just what I need for extra warmth. I'm going to check out the pattern.
All are super great! Wear each in great health! I look fwd to the next 'reveal.'Cheers~
Each one is so lovely! I especially like the poncho. Enjoy!
All of them are beautiful. But now that's it, after seeing yours it's final, must make the folded poncho! Looks so cute on you!
Mary! You are styling and rockin' that poncho with the boots!
Mary, all are beautiful ,,,,, I enjoy seeing your projects.
Ooh – I really love the poncho! And it looks great with chambray!
I have been dreaming about that folded poncho for months! You've just convinced me that I must cast on! (Maybe right this minute!!!)
I'm on the folded poncho train too! Stash diving will occur soon. Your other projects are wonderful too. Madeline does wear them well!
