I made it!
It took me a while to compile the photographs; and for that, I apologize. Anyway, onto the last two weeks of Me Made May 2017!

| #MMMay17: Day 15 |
These are my Cadence Socks, by VeryBusyMonkey. Yarn is Tanis Fiber Arts Purple Label, in the "Jean Jacket" colourway. And despite having
cashmere in the blend, these socks have held up well for over
half-a-year now despite many trips through the washer/dryer.

For Day 16, here's
another picture of my (tentatively titled) Fair Isle Fingerless Mitts
that I wore. The pattern is still in the draft stages, but I'm hoping
for a September release for these. Yarn is *Juniper Moon Farms Moonshine in "Azure Skies" and "Seaside"

Once again, I had the chance to knit out on the balcony,
which was great! But at the time, it still wasn't just t-shirt weather. So here I am, still wearing my First Point of Libra Shawl (pattern is by Laura Aylor).

Well, here is another sneak peak, this one inspired by the Ravelry Designer's Challenge!
These are my Entrelac Mitts (another working title) worked in a gradient from *Freia Fine Handpaint Fibers.
Because they're made from a single skein of gradient yarn, they're
fraternal, not identical fingerless mitts (Scroll down for a picture of the
other mitt and you can see the difference).
They're a lot of fun to make and to wear (even if I did puzzle over Entrelac in the Round, at first!).
For the curious, I'm hoping to have these up for testing end of
June/Early July 2017, and I'll post my test-knit calls here, as always.

So for Day 22 and 23,
here's a full picture of my Low Tide Cardigan by TinCanKnits. I've been loving this
ever since I finished it, but I realized that (along with having to
finish my updates to MMMay), that folks hadn't seen the full picture of
it!

| #MMMay17: Day 24 and 25 |
So it's a repeat of an earlier photo, but it's still accurate! My Staring at Stars Sweater (pattern by Alica Plummer) makes really
good 'house clothes' for being warm, thick and fuzzy. The reason I don't
wear it out as much is because it has a tendency to gape open at the
front. Lesson Learned: any cardigan for me needs at least one button!

| #mmmay17 Day 29 |
Day 29 is an older project (but something I still wear often!) It was originally done as part of a knit-along by
*EatSleepKnit, but I still wear it often.
Anyway, this is my Felted Hat. Yarn is *Malabrigo Worsted in "Azul Bolita", and the hat
is a Ravelry Freebie and can be found here.
Despite it being wool, it's actually really good for keeping my head
cool. It keeps the sun out of my eyes, and my hair doesn't get nearly
as sweaty as when I wore baseball caps and such.

While not the best picture, these are my Gox Socks by Valerie Wagoner! Yarn is Tanis Fiber Arts
Blue Label in "Frost". I made
these quite some time ago, and they've held up well! Admittedly, this
is an older picture (I didn't get a picture when I was wearing them on
May 30th), but I promise I was!

Day 31 is another sneak peek at my own Entrelac Mitts. This is actually a
behind-the-scenes from our photo shoot for this pattern, so I'm hopeful
that it will be up for testing very soon!
Yarn is *Freia Fine Handpaint Fibers, Merino Sport Silk blend, in the colourway "Atlantis".
And that should now be all of my Me Made May posts caught up! I really enjoyed it, actually, despite my inability to post timely photos (to which I thank you all for your patience).
I'm already looking forward to next year, and wish me luck!
