I moved Matilda from her usual spot on the worktop, because I'm roasting a chicken in the slow cooker, and it seemed tactless. She seems to have settled down to some web browsing.

Today I found out that both of my applications to test a #knitting pattern were accepted... after many times applying for things and not being accepted...

So I guess all my other WIP will be on hold and until June 20th I will be knitting both a pair of colourwork unicorn mittens and a cardigan... See images.

Doable, right? Maybe I should book a holiday from my two little kids and my work... haha.

Wish me luck!

Screw no pockets - the V&A has a pattern for "tie on pockets" that is super charming:

Also if you haven't seen their "make and do" section, it's utterly adorable: https://www.vam.ac.uk/info/make-and-do

I don't think I've shared my Pac-Man sweater on Mastodon yet, but I thought some of y'all might like it.

We've published the pattern and more details on my blog. https://docpop.org/2017/12/pac-man-sweater-made-traditional-icelandic-style/ #Lopapeysa #PacMan #retrogaming #knitting #DIY

In the spirit of #FallFinishAlong, 3 days ago (3 days??? just 3 days???) i posted about a #YarnChicken victory at the middle of the shawl I'm knitting.

Pictured here, because I'm slow at moving pictures over from the camera to the pc :D

Anyway, the whole shawl is made of 4 balls of yarn, I started it in mid June, finished #knitting the second ball 3 months later. and now I've almost finished working the third ball, and I'm ready to attach the last one.

The last quarter of the work is probably going to go significantly slower, because it's no longer garter stitch, but still. I wasn't sure this would have been ready for December, but now it's starting to look realistic.
