I think Lixie mentioned this on her recent podcast but it was when I saw it in action on Terrie's blog that I got how cool it is.

As my brain is slightly addled by this evil infection I am capable of knitting only straightforward things this weekend. Dreamcatcher's lovely hat pattern is just the ticket:Thanks again Dreamcatcher for sharing this pattern, it's racing along and the other half is anticipating a warm bonce soon :o)

I've managed to finish up my second Christmas gift too:
Pattern: My So Called Scarf
Yarn: Rowan Plaid - Moonwave, 2 skeins
Needles: 8mm Wooden Straights

Started: 14 October 2007
Finished: 27 October 2007
Notes: Is this the single most knit scarf after plain garter stitch? There are currently 757 of these logged as projects on Ravelry with a further 921 queued. That many knitters can't be wrong! I love it and will surely make more. This yarn is great too - super warm mix of merino, alpaca and acrylic - why oh why was it discontinued? I suppose I should be grateful as I've gathered up some bargain lots because it has been.

Now someone is showing me how I should be getting in some more sofa time,
powerless to argue I'm off.Hope the knitting has been good for you this weekend, lots of love

Yup, I've come across the Flickr letters - they're great, aren't they!

So you've been browsing the free patterns on Ravelry as well! I've also got the So Called Scarf on my wish list (as well as a squillion others). Have you seen the Criss Cross scarf? I've absolutely got to knit that one....

I love the scarf. It looks very snuggly. I hope your cold is a bit better.

I love that scarf, 2 things done for Christmas already? You're very organised!

Gorgeous cat, hope you both managed to snuggle down on the couch!

Totally agree about Rowan Plaid - I've got an old FO in that yarn that I've been meaning to post, but never get the chance to because it seems to be in constant wear during daylight hours :) The tweediness is lovely with the So-Called Scarf.

Ooh the scarf looks lovely and very cosy, Plaid is a perfect yarn for it :-)
