FO Friday

It's done!  Well, it has been done for a while, but I've been too lazy to take pictures.

Here she is. A whale of a tale!

This is my first completed project from New England Knits, which my sister gave me for Christmas to remind me of home and I want to knit everything from it!.

I had one ball of the navy and one ball of the white that I had purchased to try out for a different project, but decided it wasn't right for that.  It's knitpicks Palette.  The teal is a little - a very little - bit of Online Supersock 100 leftover from my Pomatomus.  I didn't have a fourth color like the pattern calls for so I just did a little row of navy at the edge of the chevrons.  Looks great, but it meant that there were a couple of rows that had all three colors floating around, which was a bit of an annoyance.

When it was done, it wasn't quite as floppy as I wanted, but blocking it flopped out a bit more and in the end I'm quite happy with it.  Of course it was 80 degrees here today, so it will be a while before the whales see the light of day again!
