Last Month's Knitting

When busily knitting other people's presents, it's always good to have a fun project to take with you when you go visit the person whose present is currently on your needles. I picked up a ball of Pompon because it looked fun and one of the woman at my knitting bee had enthused about it. I love the texture of this wool. Plus it's always useful to have an emergency present in reserve...
Bobbles Close


Bobble Scarf
PomPom/Bobble scarf, bit of a faff to get cast on but otherwise a lovely straightforward knit. Just what I needed after weeks wrestling with the below.
Waistcoat
A waistcoat I made for my mum, no amount of blocking will make it stay flat but it sits nice on her so *shrugs*

...your icon *fascinated* I wonder how long it took to make that?

Oooh that Pompon looks comfortably cushy :D And that waistcoat is pretty neat!

That waistcoat is absolutely lovely!

Also, I'm glad to hear the scarf was fairly straightforward as I got a ball of it for a present and I must admit it's been rather amusing me.

The waistcoat is truly lovely - well done! I hope the wrestling part won't discourage you from making more.

I got the pinks and white version of the pom pom yarn, and I think yours is much more handsome.

I don't think I've ever seen the pompom yarn! I wanna find it now though!

Both projects look lovely. And who cares about the blocking, if it fits her and she likes it... that's what counts!
