The time has arrived to wrap up our Journey-along and that means I have my final projects to share and a the giveaway winners to announce! First up, the FO's...
This was done quite awhile ago:
This amazing shawl is currently on display at Firefly Fibers and I can't wait to wear it! Knit in a worsted weight yarn with a very generous finished size, it's super warm and snuggly and great for snowy days like today.
Pattern: Onward from Journey by Shannon Cook
Yarn: Pure Wool Worsted by Rowan in Bottle
Raveled: Onward
I also finished these:
Climb was so much fun to knit (all 3 times) because the stockinette patterning makes it perfect for 'on-the-go' sock knitting. I cast these on during out trip to Colorado this last summer and threw caution to the wind and knit from both ends of the ball - my inner perfectionist squawked a little at the uneven stripes, but I eventually got over it because, after all, how serious can I get about crazy fluorescent socks?
Pattern: Climb from Journey by Jane Richmond
Yarn: Fluormania by Regia in Neon Flowers (7188)
Raveled: Climb - v3
And, this was finally finished:
I can honestly say that I love this sweater and the yarn. The project sat hibernating for quite awhile, but once I picked it back up this fall, it went fast. With the cold winter we have ahead of us, this is one sweater that is going to get a workout - I've barely taken it off since it was dry just over 2 weeks ago. I really love it!
Pattern: Inland from Journey by Jane Richmond
Yarn: Nature Spun Chunky by Brown Sheep in Grey Heather
Raveled: Inland
Time ran out and I didn't get to knit Shannon's gorgeous Antrorse, but it is in the queue and it will be cast on since I have some sweater fun planned for 2015! Details coming soon...
Enough about me - let's get to the giveaway! Using a random number generator, the winners for each of our final prizes are:

One final thank you and a huge 'shout-out' to all the fabulous knitters that joined and have been clicking along since last February - it was so much fun and I wouldn't have been as motivated without you! You. Are. Awesome.

Cheers!
