The piggle that wasn't...

The velveteen piggle finally got finished... except that it isn't a piggle. I gave up on the piggle when I discovered how limply the velveteen knits up, so decided to knit as a beanie:

The blah blah secret knitting plan has also come to fruition. A scarf for hubby in Inca in a mix of lovely dark browns. 26 st in 2x2 rib on 7.5mm needles, 1 ball = 40cm, used 4 balls. Inca is a lovely yarn to knit with - warm, bouncy and knits up quickly.


Have plugged along with pink fuzzy scarf the nth - it's over 120cm now, so a week or two to go with that one. Have made a bunch of mistakes in the green throw rug punchwork pattern, but the yarn is too fragile to pull it apart & start again, so I'm not sure exactly what I'm going to do about that. May just leave them in and space the rows with stocking stitch, haven't quite decided.

Plans are being laid for future projects and I'm off to the Stitches & Craft show this weekend for some stash addition, more books and inspiration...
