This week I have mostly been ...

... knitting in cashmere. Yum! I'll take pictures of the soft woolly goodness when the scarves are done. They're for Christmas presents, not for me unfortunately.

I've got halfway through my Alien Illusion scarf (this is the first sixth!)

which is looking pretty darn cool though I say it myself. When you look at this from above it's just green and black stripes, but when you come at it from an angle, you see the faces. Yay! Chuffed! This one's probably for me because I want it! :)

Still on knitting - yeah, I'm sorry, I'm not exactly thrilling these days - I have got stuck on 'Sgt. Pepper'. It's further on than this, having finished the whole jacket now, but I have to make epaulettes, button plackets (10 of them?) and loads of little rope-like cords to trim the cuffs and do the buttons up with. Should be worth it when it's finished but boyohboy is this a labour of love? Shame I've made it too big. It's taken so much bloody work I shall wear it even if I look like a loon.

That should look like this when it's finished. Snazzy, eh? Am I allowed to say snazzy?

We bought The Mighty Boosh's live dvd to give to DD for Christmas but we got bored last weekend and decided we'd all have a watch a month early. Ah, lovely boys, how we laughed :D And how excited I got looking at young Mr. Fielding. Pretty boy.

I've been to the inlaws this afternoon/evening, I just have to go and have a small scream in the garden to get it out of my system. Before I go, thank you to everyone who has agreed to be my blog friend. :)

I love knitting, it's nice to find somebody who understands that :) Aran jumpers are great, I haven't managed to face something that big for about 20 years, lol.
The alien scarf is such a clever design, a stripey scarf with a surprise!

Thank you :)
Love your hair colour by the way! I've started to feel too old to dye my hair bright colours but I might just go mad and do it anyway :)

Ta very much :) It's surprisingly easy, just knit on the purl side and purl on the knit side, but it's very slooooow. Reckon it might be done for next Winter, lol. Thanks for invitation too :)

Do you ever do anything in Alpacca? Ive an old sweater that needs un-raveling and re-knitting.

Get outta town! Unravelling and re-knitting indeed, who's got the time? :D Alpaca's nice. Cashmere's best. You can buy buffalo and musk ox yarn too but I don't think I'll bother.
