A face at last!

After at least eight failed attempts I finally have a head for my tabby cat knitting pattern. At one point I had three heads in my knitting bag and I was thoroughly creeping my husband out.

I am absurdly pleased with it so I have taken lots of photos to show off.

Now I just need to write it up, send it for test knitting, pay for tech editing and publish it....phew.

(Update: now available for sale on Ravelry and knitpicks)

Work in progress

Knitpicks have accepted three new pattern submissions so I am hard at work on the first of them.  It will be a tabby cat, hopefully minimal sewing using intarsia in the round and stripes (for the adventurous) or knit flat for beginners.

I'm doing the intarsia version first and then I'll rework it flat when the yarn support arrives.

Here are some preview photos, I love the paws!
