and we've got a keeper

My latest FO (finished object) It is another version of Minisweater using up some fugly pink multi yarn I was gifted and green remnants. I've been trying since Christmas to figure out a use for this yarn and besides miss dashwood, I've frogged every sweater (3) I've knit. I finally decided the only way I wouldn't gag every time I looked at it (PINK! AGH!) was to use it sparingly.

I used 4mm circs and 4mm dpn's for the sleeves which I did in the round, as I LOATHE seaming. I really like this pattern and it's versatility: I hardly had to do any math to compensate for my smaller needles and yarn.










And presenting Julia's new bike! She's very excited about it and finds a reason to clean it (if she can't ride it). I think being sick had thrown a serious hitch into her biking schedule.




Last, but not least: go check this kid out, HILARIOUS.

Wow you've been knitting up a storm. It looks great - looks like a very complex pattern from the perspective of my rusty knitting skills.
