Urban Aran blocking


Here's the Urban Aran blocking- I knit front and back continuous so there would be less seams. It seems to be pulling in quite a bit at the diagonal ribbing... We'll see what happens when it's dry.

Urban Aran Sleeve

First sleeve of the Urban Aran from Paton's Street Smart. Very fast knitting, size 10 needles. I'm using knitpicks decadence, 100% superfine alpaca in chocolate. It's a dark color for cables but I like it.

Kitty Pi


Here's Boozy in his kitty pi. It was hard to take a flattering picture. It makes him look fat but I'm not going to tell him. Knit with gifted random wool yarns on size 11 needles. The sides were a little weak, so I folded them over. He has been spending hours every day in here, even though it's been around 70 out. I've included a picture of his other favorite spot, a chair with sheepskin.

Finished Na Craga



The Na Craga has been finished for a couple weeks now, and it was actually cool enough for Ben to wear it. It fits perfectly. I was hoping for some better pictures, but this will do for now. I also knit a kitty pi but when I try to take a picture of Boozy in it, he gets up and crawls over to say hi. I'll keep trying. I've picked out my next pattern, the Urban Aran from Paton Street Smart, modified to a cardigan as seen here. I've purchased the yarn (knitpicks decadence in chocolate) but not the pattern.
