One week

... in which the joyous question of ISBN-10 to ISBN-13 "transitioning" took over my world. (And I do actually know that "transition" isn't a verb. I know that. Unfortunately the language gets "cascaded down". Interpret that as you will...). I also got a new job title and an Actual Job Description which more or less reflects what I do, for the first time in nearly 12 years; yay Richard.

... and some more knitting got done at the weekend. Two pairs of handwarmers. Please ignore the fact that I'm incapable of taking a picture of my own arm which doesn't make it look like something I've donated to science. Really quite weird. No humans were harmed in the taking of these photos, honest. Yes, I am this pale in the winter, but those are freckles, not some life-endangering skin disease... Honest...

This pair, which look even more Undead than the next ones, are in Jonelle Aran, bought years ago and Procion-dyed about 4 years ago. It's a rib pattern with horseshoe lace up the back...

This pair are a simple rib pattern in Gedifra Soffice - feels lovely. 51% wool, 49% acrylic...

Also made, a sweater for Ben(edict), 2 year old son of my college friend Dom and his wife Clare - AKA the newly-minted Deputy Ambassador to Spain and his eye-surgeon-wife... there are days I feel like a total underachiever... The darker yarn is a lot less purple and a lot more brown than this photo shows...


I'm always a bit freaked by knitting sweaters for toddlers - the arms are so much smaller than you expect from the bodies, and so on - but when I'm making things up I tend to use the general measurements from Tadpoles and Tiddlers from Rowan, and parents tend to be happy with that...
