“Are you free Mr Humphries?”
“I’m freeee!”
The photo below proves how excellent an actress Ms Lumley really is. I believe that only she could appear alluring whilst wearing this awfully dodgy jumper.
And now: a plea for help. The beanie needed to be unravelled as it was too small for Margy’s head (she insists i made it too small, i insist she has a fat head). This being done, i think i may need a different pattern, or, something. Anyone got a good link for a 55cm head k2 p2 beanie with that yarn i was using?
I’m just at a bit of a loss. It’s too hard to convert the pattern i was using.

ok, I give up. What is that design on her jumper supposed to be?
Now, with the hat. This pattern has all the different castons for head sizes and weights. I think your yarn is worsted. http://www.p2designs.com/pdfs/HatRicRac.pdf Just use the cast on info and then use your 2k2p rib. Or try the rib in the pattern and ignore the ugly herringbone shit.
Umm, yeah. I looked long and hard at that second jumper too, trying to figure out just what in the heck it was meant to be. Clearly the first is Little Ted, clearly, ‘cos I said so. But I cannot for the life of me positively identify the motif on the second one. Does it say in the pattern anywhere Nitro Jane? Please check and tell us, before I go nuts. In the meantime, I would like to post my best guess (absurd as it is) and say I think it may be a cow wearing a pair of those stupid disguise glasses, the ones that have a nose attached (but these don’t have a mo’ so are not the Groucho ones). Yup, absurd. Well done Nitro Jane, this has made my day. Oh and go with Jane Feebles hat advice, ‘cos you know I’d make you measure the guage on your scarf and use it to do the math to make a basic pattern. That is how I made my baby hats, so I know it works, but I know you don’t want that.
Oh wait, I see it now! There is a ‘mo, aaaand big eyebrows too. Not a cow at all. The grey patches against the white said cow to me. Now I just see it is a pasty bald person wearing Groucho glasses. I wonder why the top of their head is so pointy? No wonder I could not work out what it was. Phew! Glad I worked THAT out. Dude, that is seriously weird, even now that I know what it is.
i picked up that book (knitwits?) at that fusty bookstore by the pancake house in the cbd once and pissed myself laughing. as a graduate of 1986, it was all too painful.
too cheap to buy it and when i returned, it was gone. alas.
