Baby Viking Helmet

Another amusing submission from Boing Boing via Peter: Knit your own Baby Viking Helmet Instructions. I particularly like the fake blond braids!

Starting All Kinds of Things

So I stared my lovely nursing shawl, and ended up throwing the yarn and needles across the room. I have set myself a daunting task. This is the intarsia border pattern that I have created for myself (imagine the florecent green part as a darker red, it was just easier to see this way): I think I have to wait until I'm getting more sleep to tackle it. I have also started this jacket: The yarn it's shown in is really ugly, but I'm using the knitpicks bulky in wine. It's really simple knitting, but that's good right now. It's circular from the center back, and I have been wanting to try that for awhile. If this one turns out well I might try this one, which I love, but is not simple knitting. It's in alpaca, so I need to save my pennies. :)
