Seeing Kristine working on Wee Willie Whistle, reminded me that I too have stashed yarn for this project. Well, this project, amongst others.
Since it's always fun to cast-on for new things, I did just that. I'm doing mine in All Season's Cotton, with Slick for the background and Misty for the edging. It's the perfect project for a hot day, and a much better bet than turning blue with the Denim or working with wool.
The joys of working with Aran weight yarn. You get results in almost no time. Which is a good thing considering how boring it is to knit in grey yarn. I jokingly called these the *Amelia* colours. Of course, Amelia objected, and since she does own at least one non-neutral tee-shirt, I'm going to have eat my words.
Posted by atu at August 8, 2004 07:45 PMHello,
It's a very cute pattern, and at the speed you're knitting, in the between it must be already finished. On my continental side, not much happening beside work and spanish courses, but hurrah! 2 weeks of vacations, and hopefully some knitting time, ahead! :-)
will catch up with you as well...
oh miss polly, i just emailed you re: some of your stash sale yarn...... i sent it from my work address so hopefully your spam blockers don't throw me in the trash!

Posted by: Kristine at August 11, 2004 02:47 AMP! You make the most FETCHING baby garments. Love the colourway for Wee Willie!! I say follow Wendy's advice and be a Bad A** Knitter--which would include knitting whatever colourway you want!
Posted by: elisabeth at August 10, 2004 04:38 PMI actually think the colours are very attractive too - this is getting worrying, am I being influenced by the Neutral One? No, bring on the Noro and the Koigu .......
Posted by: Jill at August 9, 2004 11:33 PMvery cute and i think i may have knit a girly version.
Posted by: froggy at August 9, 2004 09:18 PMI too am doing Wee Willie Whistle. Love how fast it goes. I am using a royal blue and copper.
Posted by: Patty Gadarian at August 9, 2004 06:37 PMWait -- Amelia owns a non-neutral article of clothing?
Posted by: Wendy at August 9, 2004 01:42 PMI am not sure Amelia COULD come up with another non-neutral tee. But I do agree with her that the colors are fab! I am up to the armhole front on mine.
Posted by: Kristine at August 9, 2004 03:08 AMI am sure I could come up with a second non-neutral coloured tshirt if I really tried. But the colours you have chosen for Wee Willie Whistle are fabulous!
