Both yarns were given to me in swaps and I went toe up to make them as long as possible. This is the 4th time I've used this pattern & I love it.

DD loves her hat!

The only modification I made was to knit 12 rows of rib rather than 10.

This hat was knitted in ‘snatches’ of time whilst we were VERY busy working on our house. A round whilst DH drove us to the builders merchants or sat up in bed late at night. The yarn was a bit splitty but workable. I've got loads left and already have plans for some of it.

Cat-astrophe......

Frankie: snoozing oblivious to the threat that is Ginny



Ginny: Let me at 'im!



Lyra:If I close my eyes he'll disappear.......

It is possible......

Please bear witness I am knitting with an 8 week old kitten on my knee albeit asleep as he has crashed due a day full of fun and frolics. Yarny evidence can be spotted in the top left hand corner and I'm casting off a pair of socks.......

Play Time!

He's known as Frankie aka Thunder Paws and both dogs LOVE him.....

Pumpkins....

Our vegetable garden is now sporting a number of young pumpkins. Hopefully we'll have one big enough to carve for Halloween and of course there is always pumpkin soup......

New recruit!

For what seems like ages I've wanted to get another cat, a boy cat to be precise and if possible a blue boy. Years ago when DH and I first got together he had a gorgeous long haired female called Furry Cat who was sadly killed on the road, I vowed then that one day we'd get another fur ball and this little scrap meets all of those requirements.
He is 7 weeks old and as yet un-named but suggestions are welcome :)

ETA:

DD would like me to point out that she took this photo! :DDD
