In Other knit-news

There has been some
other knitting going on
chez Knitting with a Poodle.

this is the start of a pair of
Fleece Artist socks. Yummy
wool. Wonderful rich colour.

Oh, and some chocolate has
been seen.
Ooooh & aah.

On Being Green ....

it's not only
Kermit the Frog who
sings about Being Green.

Many people think this shade of green is
too sharp.
But when it's knitted up, it
calms down quite a bit.
this slip of a scarf
is being knitted "plain" ...
any attempts at lacey patterns were
swallowed up by the fuzziness of the mohair.
I think it will make a
lovely accessory.

Mansock ... continues

The mansocks ... oh yes....
The mansocks:
Construction on the very nice
Mansocks has been completed.
However:
the second sock hasn't
had its ends sewn up yet.
Must get that finished
this weekend.

Einstein.

Do you know
London-wul, in New Brunswick, Canada?
You should, London-wul is the
brainchild of Heidi & Arnold.
I have yet to visit their terrific shop,
but i've heard marvellous things.
Heidi also has a blog.
Maybe you've seen it already.

Heidi has decided to host a Knit-along:
Sally Melville's Einstein Coat.

Have a look at Heidi's
entry for December 15, 2006
(entitled Swatchy swatch,
if you're checking her sidebar)
to see the link for Extra info/Q & A's (from Sally herself)
about the Einstein Coat.
This pattern is from Sally's book:
The Knit Stitch: Inspirations & Instructions.




I had entertained the idea of the Einstein
coat for quite a while ....
Usually i don't knit "large" projects.
(not even medium size projects).
A coat is a practical & fun idea,
but a huge chunk of time.
(who doesn't want a little coat
called "the einstein coat"!?)

So after all, i've decided to
join in with Heidi & the other Einstein
knitters.
What better way to tackle a "first time
jacket" than with a knit along.
I don't have the yarn yet.
But finally, i've made the decision.
I'm going to use a curly Mohair.
