Finally Photographed FO's!

Well, I have a slew of FO photos to post, thanks to my friend Cyan. I've had a bit of a backlog because I really hate how my FO photos turn out when I take them myself. Well, today Cyan--who is pretty handy with a camera--helped me out. Here are the results, in order of completion (I'll keep text to a minimum--and please ignore the weird faces I make because I'm uncomfortable being photographed!):
IMG_1775
Pattern: Moch Cardi, by Gudrun Johnston (self-published)
Mods: I knit a full-length garter button band after finishing the body rather than the reverse stockinette, yoke-only button band called for in the pattern.
Yarn: Tupa by Mirasol, colorway 810 Dark Amber (it looks brown here, but it's actually a deep, rich burgundy)

IMG_1770
Pattern: Tangled Yoke Cardigan, by Eunny Jang (published in Interweave Knits, but I bought it from Knitting Daily's pattern store)
Mods: none. I may reinforce the button bands at some point--the yarn is a little bit too lightweight to hold its shape under stress.
Yarn: Rowan Felted Tweed, colorway 145 Treacle (this one is actually brown...)

IMG_1777
Pattern: Que Sera, by Kristen Kapur (published in the Knitty, Spring/Summer 2010 issue)
Mods: none (I'm pretty sure...) This one is a little weird...it's the right size for me, but the button bands will not hold their shape properly.
Yarn: Spud & Chloe Sweater, colorway 7509 Firecracker

IMG_1771
Pattern: Audrey in Unst, by Gudrun Johnston (published in the Twist Collective, Fall 2009 issue)
Mods: I added a titch of length to both the body and sleeves. I *loved* the sleeve cap construction--very cool to knit, and they look great.
Yarn: St. Denis Nordique, colorway 5809 Pewter

I wear all of these a lot, and love how they turned out (though I have to be in just the right mood to wear that orange...). I also loved working with all 4 of these yarns. So far they're all holding up really well in sweater form, too.

Pretty, pretty sweaters! I've had all of them queued for a while - I just need to sit down and actually knit them. :)
