Finally Pat's 20th hand jumper is finished and ready for him to wear. By the time the cats laid on it, if left unguarded or me trying it on when sewing it together.
Pat doesn't like to be on the blog and that's okay, so I have modeled the finished jumper.
Big and warm and lovely to look at. Jumpers not too bad either... 
Close up of the cable pattern.
Close up of the sleeve pattern.
Now this one is out the way I can concentrate on other knitting projects at night.
Until next time.... hoo roo
As far as I have gotten so far today with Pat's jumper. Amy called in and we went out for a few hours shopping. Lost a lot of this afternoon I was gong to use for sewing up the jumper.
All that is left to do is sew the sleeves and then sew those sleeves into the arm area. The Pat can wear his jumper.
Not sure if this will be done after dinner tonight or left until tomorrow.
Millie has been sticking close to the jumper and if given the chance..... she's on the knitted pieces that I am not yet using.
Until next time....hoo roo
We've had over 2 inches of rain and its lovely and cold. So this means I can now sit a whole sheep and a couple of cats on my lap and not over heat.
The sweater neck line is easy as to finish off, just 11 rows of knitting and then sew it all together. With some help from the fur kids.
Nothing excites the cats more than a woolen project being worked on when its cold. Millie grabbed the lap spot first and made herself comfy. This left poor Harley out in the cold. 
I need to turn my knitting without disturbing the Grand-kitty......... what is a Nanna to do???
Eight of the eleven rows are now knitted and Pat is getting excited about wearing his new jumper.
Hope to have a photo up tomorrow of the finished sweater.
Until next time....hoo roo
Finally finished tiding up the last sock of my "Raspberry" Monkey socks last night. So now they are ready for me to wear in the cooler months. Can't believe they sat in my knitting box for about 4 weeks. 
Just love the colour and pattern of these socks. While they sat in my knitting box I was busy knitting at night and also sewing.
I also have finished off the "Cat's Paw" scarf for the stall.
Knitted with Moda Vera sentiments taking 2 skeins.
Only 6 rows of pattern to this scarf. And you can get the pattern free here .
Looking for a little lower in day temperature and I can spend the day in natural light, sewing up Pat's Aran jumper.
Next to finish off, is the little pink baby dress. In between I am slowly knitting Pat's sweater with "Jet" yarn.
Until next time.... hoo roo
Oh yeah baby, I lurv my new sock.
Pattern is called Monkey. Just love the look, colour, feel and comfort of this pattern and how well it knitted up.
This is going to be a pair of socks picked first in my smalls draw, trust me.
Front look of the sock.
Sole of the foot and heel.
What I found so addictive about knitting up this sock is that fact its fun, easy and fast to knit.
Started on the 7th and finished on the 9th.
Hope the other sock is just as quick to complete.
Until next time....hoo roo
Love knitting these Monkey socks. The pattern is very addictive. Very happy with the colourway and so can't wait until they are finished.
Even finding I am staying up late at night to knit my socks. If my knitting mojo had gone walk about.... its back now.
Until next time....hoo roo
Love knitting socks and as the Jaywalkers are all finished, I thought I would start on a pair for my sister Deb. Knitting the Thuja, as Deb found these to be very comfy over the winter months in the outback.
Looking like they have come from Ronald McDonald's wardrobe. I got to this stage after 1 evening's sitting that finished at about 11.30 pm. Had a quick shower and noticed my arms were stinging.
This is what came up overnight. Done some asking round as the only thing I have done different is knit with some different yarn that is still 100% wool by Patons. Wasn't itchy just hot and I could feel it on my arms.
So I am going to wait until its all cleared up, give it a couple of days clear and have another session with this yarn. If it happens again, we have the allergy pin pointed and I'll finish them off in the winter time when I am wearing long sleeves. It was suggested that the yarn may have more lanolin in it.
So what socks do I knit then??? A pair for me.
This yarn is by "Filatura Di Crosa" called "Maxine Print". The pattern I am knitting is called "Monkey". I have read a few posts about this pattern and thought when I went hunting for it, oh nice..........that'll do me just fine.
Easy as to knit, though I am wondering if the wool is going to be a bit heavy colour wise for it. I'll know more as it grows and then I'll see if I will continue or frog it.
I have some plain colours in cream sock wool..... maybe I could also knit a pair of these socks in 1 of those colour ways too.
Until next time....hoo roo
