Coaster

This may be the most practical thing I've made so far, mostly because it's replacing this coaster on my desk at work. I'm lucky that I work in a place where people take such things humorously, but it's still a bit less than professional (though better than tea-stains on the desk).

Please note Lee Meredith's patterns are awesome and you should all go to her site and pick out something to knit right now.

This still needs to be damp-stretched; I steamed it in hopes that it would open up enough to fit my mug, but no dice. Hopefully this yarn has enough wool to hold a block...

Triple Hairband

Another hairband. What can I say? They look good with a bob and the yardage is right.

Actually, the yardage on this one was just short, so there's a little uneven place in the back where I didn't have enough yarn to finish the last row. It'll be our secret, right?

Early October Yarns

October's samples are split up; the last two are supposed to come later as part of a "new direction" for elann.com. Mysterious!
