Blanket making my hand hurt a lot. I suppose I don't usually work on a piece this length. 
One hour = 8 inches

Poncho for co-worker "before it gets chilly"

Custom Order: Bone/Tan Capelet/Shawl (Requestor provided reference pics and was available to be sized)

Came out a tiny bit short but I had to two-piece and seam. I do have over size needles, but not clothing length or interchangable. Ended up eating some length in the seaming.

Picked a very nice bone grey
