I don't think he will, though he is more of a cat person. But he will get on with the dog okay. hehe well he's sitting right now anyway :P I don't know about a good deal, but I got one. Not up for too much longer, haven't slept. Damn insomnia.

Congrats! :D :D :D A zoo is just begging for good pictures. lol

Hopefully you will be able to sleep. :hugs:

That should've read "meet" rather than "need" - my fingers are typing faster than my brain right now 😊

that sounds perfect! :D :D :D I need to get on and knit myself another pair of fingerless mitts - the last pair I made from wool, shrank in the wash so they're not quite long enough now 😊

That sounds like a great project.. would you mind if I pick your brain for some knitting help? I promise I will be gentle. 👼

I can't guarantee I know the answer, but I'll try ;)

Appreciate it. :* I am knitting this iphone hoodie. http://coloradomoms.com/wp-content/uploads/iPhone-Hoodie.pdf

Increasing – Purl the next row then work as follows: Row 1: K2, KFB, move marker, KFB, K2, KFB, move marker, KFB, K6, KFB, move marker, KFB, K2, KFB, move marker, KFB, K2 Row 2: Purl all stitches. Repeat rows 1 and 2 until there are 10 stitches before the first marker and purl the next row

This part is making me a bit unsure of things. When row 1 is repeated you will have four stitches in front of the marker? As the KFB is increasing.... :unsure:

Are we meant to K3 when the row is repeated before KFB and moving the marker?

Or possibly K2 and 2 KFB? :unsure:

opens the pattern to take a look

oooo that'll look really nifty :D :D

Ok, it looks like it starts at the top (so the hood part), so

Row 1 (first repeat): K3, KFB, move marker, KFB, K3, KFB, move marker, KFB, K7, KFB, move marker, KFB, K3, KFB, move marker, KFB, K3 which would give you: 5 stitches, marker, 7 stitches, marker, 9 stitches, marker, 7 stitches, marker, 5 stitches

(row 4 is a purl row again)

- basically you want to KFB on the stitch before and the stitch after each marker, and just knit the other stitches ;)

....does that help? (or it could easily just confuse you even more!)

That is what I thought they wanted me to do.. but wasnt sure as they didnt specify in the pattern really. o-o I think I will try this and see how it turns out. You do start off knitting the hood. :nods:

Thank you so much for taking a peek at it!

yeah, that could've been phrased a lot better in the pattern - although I guess writing "knit until the stitch before the marker, KFB, move marker" sounds a bit awkward ;)

You're welcome - hopefully that knits up really nicely! :D :D

Patterns can be fun like that. :P At least I have learned something new... KFB. lol

I hope so! :D Its a fun lil project.

hehe the first time I tried to KFB I got in a complete mess 😊 but I do find it easier than just picking up the yarn between the stitches - that always leaves an ugly gap when I try that o.O

:nods: I did have to study a youtube video to figure out how it was done. :P Thanks fully not too complicated. Just hoping the sleeves will not be too bad. They are kinda neat... as you can have the earphone cords through them. lol

that's a great idea - it should help keep them untangled too! ;) :D

I might end up using it for my ipod.. to make it more stylish... and for protection. 👼 Using thick pink yarn. lol

that's a brilliant idea! Is there an idea of the size it'd come out as on the pattern?

Its hard to say... I figure its not the end of the world if its a tiny bit bigger at least. :)

nods I reckon it should definitely work for the ipod, but if it ends up being a bit bigger, that could make it easier to get it in and out ;)

it was fun, tired though and in pain. going for nap in a mo. yeah I got that ;) he can probly meet the dog at the bookstore. Also loving the clothing shopping HA.

thanks :D I'm running out of different backgrounds & outfits to do for her Hogsmeade shopping trip laughs

I love the red look today - I hadn't thought that red would work so well with RP-Raven's skin tone, but it looks amazing! :D

:nods: I am learning and having fun, so its no huge deal if it doesnt end up being used much. :P

Hope you got some nice pictures!
