I joined the club. You've seen a bunch already, but here's my OSW.
Pattern: need I say... OSW from Glampyre Yarn: 2 and a bit skeins of Rowan Cotton Tape in Dusk Gauge: 17 to 18 sts/4inches, so I ended up making a size bigger than I needed Needles: I think I used US size 9 denise needles and then I used about a US 5 or 6 for the ribbing. Sorry about my lack of certainty on the details here, but I've never been very good at keeping track of knitting details - that's probably why I'll never design!! I love how the cotton tape worked out and considering I only had these three skeins lying around - it was a perfect fit for the yarn.
Here's the back:
and a close-up of the sleeve:
BUT wait, I have another finished object to show you.....well, kind of. Here is a haphazard photo (taken at our Tokyo SNB solstice knitting night) of my striped knee-high sock that I finished during our trip to the US - there's nothing like nearly 30 hours of flying time to finish a knee-high sock....well, one anyway. I have cast on for the next one. Thanks so much for the yarn (Cascade Fixation), Nipper - I LOVE THESE SOCKS!! They were of course inspired by the socks in the first SNB book, but I knit this one from the toe up.
And to cap off this 'full of photos' Wednesday, here's a lowlight pic of us knitting by candlelight last night. Well, I never pulled my needles out, but everyone else did. Considering I stayed up until 2am the previous night finishing my OSW, I figured I had covered my knitting time anyway.
Great FOs, Kat. You look so cute in the OSW. I like the yarn you used. It shows off the details of all the stitches so well. and I love the sock. Did you carry the colors over as you were knitting? Or did you actually have to weave in all of those ends?

OK, that shrug is very cute. I'm tempted, but know I'm too lazy to finish. I also really like the socks. Too cute.

With every photo of it I see, I'm one step closer to joining the OSW club. Yours is adorable -- and so is your knee high!

That sock looks awesome! Love those colors.
I think I might have fall into the OSW trap. I'm sure there's something in my stash that would work for it!
