Not only finished, but listed for sale here on etsy.  I am pleased with it after all that work and the times I frogged it... It is long (80 inches!) and took two full skeins and a bit of a third skein (I could have gone with 2, but since I messed up the seam, I had to get more and fix it)  Purple colored Lion Bran Microspun 100% acrylic and very soft!

The feather and fan part is the classic pattern (but I probably made up my own number of repeats!) interspersed with bands of stockinette stitch for interest.  I made this up as I went along, but the seam is because I wanted both sides to look right when the ends hang down.  It looks right now.

Remember, the 50% off current list price etsy v2 anticipation sale continues until etsy goes down for migration next weekend.  I made some sales last night during the Saturday Night Special time (Woo Hoo!) but there are plenty of great deals left for you. Oh yeah, use the code "vox" to get free shipping on whatever you purchase. 

I love the simplicity of the iolite with the crystals and seed beads on this bracelet.  For today only, this bracelet has been massively marked down on etsy where it can be easily be purchased.  The toggle clasp is really nice as you can see the hearts clearly in the photo.  There is also a coordinating necklace and I will combine shipping for both pieces (along with anything else in my shop, of course!)

This is a great dishcloth that used up some yarn ends.  Somewhat difficult as each square needs some side stitches "picked up".  I had to be very careful on the pick up stitches to get the right number and so the loops appeared correctly on the "right" side".  Also, the corner squares are mitered which was a first for me.  I did this one awhile ago, but some how never took a photo. I am starting to get a large collection of cloths, so selling some may be a good idea... if you see something you like let me know. 

I hate how the camera makes the colors look all wonky.  Really, the blues match and the solid is one of the shades in the varigated bit... this was a variation on the "grandmother's favorite" pattern with hidden increases.  100% cotton using up bits from other cloth projects.
