Knitting projects

I've finally finished the 12-pointed knitted ball (pattern here) that was sent around a while ago. I followed the pattern to the letter, even though I questioned one step. I don't think my points are as pointy as the picture on the pattern (so if any of you try it, put another four rows of plain in before the final decrease). *sigh* My points are rounder than they should be, and what with my choice of coloured yarn, they look like breasts. Great!

So, behold the Booby-Ball.

The other knitting project I've had on the go was the baby jumper made from lovely soft bamboo/cotton yarn. It's lovely to knit with, however as always I hated sewing it up. Well, my high school friend's baby has arrived - a boy called Henry - and so I've had incentive to finish the damn thing. All done, packed and posted :) Phew.


Last night I started a pair of glittens for me. Yay for warm fingers, but being able to turn pages in rehearsals :)

We won't mention the socks I'm knitting...
