The Mystery Knit Continues

Any thoughts?



What happens if we add these...?



Clearer?



What about this?

Mystery Knitting

Can you guess what this is?



PS. I finished the scarf. The yarn is actually "Touch Yarns - Handpainted DK". Other than a couple of mistakes, I'm very pleased with this. Got 1 and a 1/2 skeins of this stuff left. I think I'll make a matching pair of gloves... and then some.

Cat Dexterity...

...In which Bandit demonstrates why beer glasses will not be left in anyway unattended in future for fear of creating a pish-head pushie.

1. Stage One - Observation.



Stage 2. Investigation.

3. Reward.

Baa Baa Baby

Finished this jumper to match the hat on Thursday night. Some frantic sewing up before I dashed out to the pub. (Priorities!)



It's from "Family Circle: Easy Baby Knits" and was a very simple knit - very little shaping involved. The pattern was actually for an Intarsia picture of a sheep but as you can see, I ignored that small detail. Good stashbuster - the whole lot used three balls of blue and one ball of white.

Something Completed

I've rattled this off this week - a little beanie for a friend's baby. (And it's some cunning stashbusting too. "Sirdar Soya - DK").



The pattern is from a book I picked up in 'Borders' closing down sale (sob): "Family Circle: Easy Baby Knits". It's a great book - a mish-mash of clothing patterns and some very funky multi coloured dinosaurs.

Fortunately, I have three friends who are expecting babies this year - including twins - so plenty of excuses to knit them.
