My first PS4 FO, and my second Amanda Hat.
It isn’t very green I know, but please bear with me for a few moments and I shall hope to convince you of the appropriateness of this project…

A themed RAK on Ravelry’s UK RAK group gave me an opportunity to make two test drives in one pass. I wanted to test out some chunky yarn that I had from eBay and I also wanted to see what an unblocked chunky Butternut Scarf would emerge like. The theme was “red,” the recipient enjoys dark reds, the yarn that I had was a rich deep dark red – it had to be done!
Another lacy scarf from Knitspot.
This one is the Butternut Scarf, knitted in a Colourmart laceweight yarn.
“Ingrid” – because this piece of knitting is for comfort in the same way that an old Ingrid Bergman B&W 3 hankie movie is for comfort on a dreary winter afternoon. I don’t have a TV to watch, but I do have lace to knit.
I was totally seduced by the Paton’s Jet that maddy18 gave me. When I found that I couldn’t knit any of my “hit list” projects while bandaged from finger to shoulder, I realised that something on big fat needles would be much more appropriate – and this yarn knits on 5.5mm – lovely.
A quick search of Ravelry yielded…
A quick and easy hat from Grumperina.
I needed a close-fitting hat and this quick and easy project fitted the bill.
Knitted in Hug from The Yarn Yard.
A new Finished Object – my Kauni Rainbow version of the Swallowtail Shawl. This project has a long history – this is a long post!
“…The project went well, or so I thought, and it grew very quickly – but looked somewhat odd. I had knitted shawls before, but only tip-up, with a clear understanding of the increases and the way on which it was shaped. Trying to get my head around the centre-top, out-and-down construction was difficult. In fact, I adopted a wait-and-see approach, looking forward to the eventual surprise…”
Three finished objects in one post!
“It seems like forever since I began the Baby Surprise Jacket. I had just heard that a friend and former colleague and his wife were to have a baby. Baby was due December 16th, but I couldn’t resist casting on immediately. I got most of the jacket done in a day, knitted a bit more the day after… then it languished – for reasons I am now uncertain about.
The project took a kick in the pants when N e-mailed me this week …”
