New FO's

Finally I am getting around to adding these finished objects.  I'm still in the stash-busting mode, and I'm happy to report that the stash is really diminishing, which means that soon I'll be shopping for brand new, shiny yarns, oh my!

This is my favorite of my recently completed stuff:

And once I finished him, I decided to make him a friend:
And then I decided to make him some clothes, so when dressed, he looks like this:

I think he's really pretty handsome.  The plan for all these toys is to donate them, so come this December I'll pack them all up and bring them up to the children's hospital in Tucson.  And God Bless Them Every One.

The last finished object of late is this cropped sweater, made in 2 days (really, it's that fast and easy) and this will be a birthday gift for a friend of mine, who shall remain nameless in case she is browsing this blog.  This is made using super bulky yarn (also a part of my ever-shrinking stash) and I'm thrilled to finally use it because it takes up waaaaay tooooo much room in my yarn storage.  I will update this post with pattern information, which is not available to me at the moment because I am doing this at work.  Because sometimes, when my real work is done, I fill in the hours with other things, the internets being one.  Shhhhhhhhhhh!
