A crappy tinternet connection meant only good things for my stash! Add to the the addition of Sky+ to our family led to quite a few things being made. Alfie did get a birthday present after all, albeit one that was finished in between making and icing cupcakes for his party and getting drunk and finished with the help of some videos Amy had text me filmed on her phone off a knitting website as I had no idea what 3 needle bind off entailed! But all was well that ended well and photos of the finished article will be up soon.
I'm still looking for a decent pattern to use with my poor pink and purple wool that has been reincarnated more times that a 2000 year old buddhist but after spending hours in the library, visiting every available pattern website twice and getting very excited over the new issue of Knitty only to be disappointed at the last, I STILL HAVEN'T FOUND WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR!!
Never mind. I finally mastered intarsia this week and the results weren't too bad, I made a few wristbands (black with a pink skull, black with a blue stylised star and black with 'geek' spelt out in turquoise) but I'm not too sure about the twisting the yarn behind bit, I think it may have distorted the pattern a bit but I shan't let it annoy me too much, just chalk it up to learning the hard way!
