First is my Sriracha Hot Sauce Bolero, one of Stefanie's patterns. This was quick and fun. It's knit in WildeThyme's beaded handspun and some O-Wool Organic Wool Classic. I love both yarns and they went together perfectly:
Here I am adjusting the shawl pin I got in a PhatFiber box, it goes perfectly with this bolero:
Next up is my Secret Surprise Marilyn. This is a design by Wendy Bernard. I dyed this yarn with Kool-Aid and used some vintage buttons I had in my button stash:
The buttons:
Another pic of the sweater with a scarf I knit out of KittyGrrlz' bamboo singles. This is amazing yarn; beautiful colors and really soft. The bamboo holds it's shape much better than I thought, I think it's the way she spins it.
Another shot of the scarf on its own:
I think that's it for now! I've started a couple Project Spectrum projects, and will blog about them later.

All the knitted items look great, but I'm diggin' the retro album covers hangin' on the wall!
You certainly had a busy week. They all look great - I think my queue is growing again!
Thanks Wen and Ellen. Ellen, those albums belonged to my mom's cousin, who lived in Belgium. The last time we visited while he was alive, he and I listened to them. My brother brought them back for me after his funeral.
Love the bolero, and the cardigan, and the buttons, and the scarf, and, well, all of it really!
It all looks great, Cindy!
Love your sweaters, they are beautiful! I am happy to have found your blog as well.
Thanks, Carol! I am going to try to keep it up better...
