As the title of this post indicates, I'm suffering badly at the moment with lots of unfinished things 'haunting' me but a severe case of start-itis has kicked in and more potential UFOs are being added daily. I received an early birthday present from a good friend today - 3 patterns from my Ravelry wish list and guess what I have an almost uncontrollable urge to do?? You got it, start one of the cute little tunics in one of those patterns.
One thing I did finish last week was a hat which was supposed to be a toddler's size but it actually fits me so I'll save it for one of the charities requesting adult items.
For this hat I used Magnum Soft 8ply, 4.00mm needles and an old Patons Totem pattern.
Also on the needles is a child's jumper I started, to try some yarn I haven't used before. Its Carnival Effects 8ply and is one of those clever yarns that creates the pattern as you go along. Here's a peek of the beginning (I've actually nearly finished the back but took this photo a few days ago).
Not 100% sure I really like this yarn. They also do another version that creates little coloured spots on a white background - might have to get some of that to try.
Its bitterly cold here - raining too, but thank goodness I don't have to go out again for a few days so hopefully I might have something else to show you soon. Could even be one of those UFOs.

That hat is gorgeous!! Are those faux tortoise shell needles I see? I have quite a collection of them.. all from Australia. I have to find the yarn for my last Teddy Bear.. but the 4 year old boy has decided on PINK.. and his dad does not want him to have pink. Now what! ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
ReplyDeleteYes I know what you mean by cold, but no rain here... The crochet/knitting seems a little slow here too at the moment.
ReplyDeleteAt least you have made a start..
hugs pat :))
The jumper looks really pretty
