You'd Better Sit Down For This!

I've finally taken the time and effort to post a few pictures of the stuff on which I am working. Let me be your tour director.

To your left, the mohair throw. This is yarn that I resurrected from a sweater my mum made me when I was fifteen and I'm on the upside of forty now. The green is something or other by Lily Chin that was a freebie from a supplier. I'm debating on where to put another stripe. What do you think? Should they be random or a pattern. Suggestions most welcome!

This is the sweater I am knitting for my husband of Kathmandu Aran from the Queensland Collection. This knits up very easily - as I'm sure you can tell by the amount I've been able to finish in such a short time! Does anyone else think this looks like granite? Maybe the picture's not the greatest - but I love all the flecks!









Finally, I believe I mentioned that I decided to re-knit the sweater for my daughter. This is a Kristin Nicholas pattern from 1995. My previous effort had me attempting steeks. However, I wasn't pleased with the way the sweater was knitting up. This is supposed to be knit in the fair-isle manner, but I found there was too much puckering between the cats. So, on the second try I decided to do the cats in intarsia and the other bits in fair-isle. It looks better, I believe.

So folks, I really am getting some knitting done!
