FO Friday - February Edition

Time for another one of these! I don't actually have all that much actively on my needles at the moment though, so I'll post it as a Finished Object Friday post instead :-D Since last post I've started and finished Squish. No longer remember what made me want to make it, but it's cute, so who cares :-D A bit fiddly to make, and the dark blue is a tad too dark to actually show the face, but oh well. Sometimes you're allowed to just be silly.
One of my friends had a son last September, and I told him to just let me know if they ever wanted some handknit items for him. His girlfriend took me up on the offer, and asked if I'd knit a vest or a pullover. You know me - why not both! So I've recently finished a vest for him, and am currently working on the Telemark Pullover - just need to knit the sleeves, so should hopefully finish next week sometime. The elephants are my own design - I just think they're cute!
And last, but DEFINITELY not least, after two+ years on the needles I've finally, finally, FINALLY finished the genser I showed off last time. The pattern was really badly written - confusing and with several mistakes - so it took quite a bit of frogging and fudging to make it work, but now I'm done!!! And fortunately I loved the finished object, so it was worth the hassle. Definitely don't see myself making this again anytime soon though!!!
