I am still making Surprises, so I can't post them (I promise I will) but I've also cast on one of these for the Jennarator. I think it's too cute not to knit!

Another denim quilt. You're not throwing any of your old jeans away are you?

@ EV, don't think I am not sulking by you posting your wonderful robin after mine! Yours so trumps mine. Are you planning to do christmas cards? I would want some for special friends if you are.

Ahha, but yours hasn't got an appendage

When we were printing *him* this morning, we noticed poor wee robin appears to have a little white growth just beneath his red breast.

It's just the way the foliage almost lines up with the red but now that I've seen it and confessed .... well, y'know, it's like a stitch of purl in the middle of a row of plain knitting!

BUT I have got the original drawing, so I could quite easily re-cut new blocks

Can you give me a loose idea of how many you might want? My friend Robin has also expressed an interest, so I'd probably try and do them all at one sitting.

At first guess at least a dozen. I don't know how many BA would want though.

Your talents wouldn't be extending at all towards a holly wreath pattern or Christmas bells at some point over the festive season?

Depends how work goes for the two main exhibitions I'm working towards ... but some holly wreaths could possibly be done when main print work is drying.

Holly appeals more than bells methinks. I can imagine a nice stylized holly leaf design

This morning we've been making appointments, updating accounts, ordering materials and generally doing admin. Now at last I'm at a stage where I can get back to making Things.

I'm doing a pair of gauntlets for ME. Hand spun, hand dyed BFL yarn, designed as I go. There may be a pic of the first one completed tomorrow or Friday.
