I’ve been knitting, I’ll get photos up soon.

In the meantime, I’m casting on for the Knitting Olympics tonight! My project of choice will be flip-top mittens that are a modification from Knitty’s Cigar pattern. The mods were made by my sister the Pirate.

Otherwise, I’m working on Lighthouse Gansey socks using KnitPicks Stroll in pumpkin, as well as starting a scarf. I’ve also been knitting some more ferret sweaters for a special cause. I recently lost one of my little sweater models, Palom, to a severe blood infection, and I miss him terribly. In his honour, I’m knitting a bunch of ferret sweaters to be donated to the local ferret rescue for fundraising sales.

Here’s some pics of my boy in his favorite blue stripey sweater (Regia Canadian Color) before he got sick. RIP my little Palom.

And one with his sister Porom, who is all alone now. I’ll be adopting a friend or two for her from rescue.

Wish me luck in the coming weeks!

I come bearing patterns. A pattern for a cute little ferret sweater. :D

Palom, my adorable, huge boy in the photos, was kind enough to model the sweater for me. In fact, he’s still wearing the Noro one. And napping. He loves his sweater.

I made two, a blue stripey one and one from leftover Noro sock. If you’ve got ferrets, it’s a great stash buster for leftover sock yarn!

Palom got a treat for being so photogenic, and to beg forgiveness for scruffing him for an underside shot in the second photo. Sorry, little man. Enjoy your peanut butter chew.

Pattern will be in my pattern list to the right momentarily! (Decided to do the post, first.)
