Eyes Have It

knitty peacock

There are beads in his tail!

First:
The Fancy version of the Itty Bitty Birdie pattern is almost ready for test knitting (the Plain version is already being tested)! Anybody want to try it? The fancy birds (robin, cardinal and peacock) are more fiddly than the plain ones. (Test Knitters Aquired – thank you. I always say that I’m going to make a test knitter pool, but it’s kind of fun to have volunteers every time.)

Second:
Overwhelming Enthusiasm has carried the day, Dish Rag Tag will happen this year! It will be a scaled back version, but I think that will really be OK. Especially since I realized that with fewer teams, I can knit the starting dish rags! Which means at the end of the race, I will get new dish rags! I really need some so this is working out quite well for me personally.

I’ll tell you about The Plan later, we’re going to the zoo!

    Aww how adorable! I”m knitting on the plain one. 🙂 Got sidetracked cleaning out the garage when I went hunting for my knitting needles! So far so good!

    I would test knit for you! I have never done it before, but if you are willing to have a first timer, I’m all in!

    Thrilled that DRT is coming back! And if you still need a test knitter, I’d be in. I’ve been making scads of crochet bags, and wouldn’t mind flexing the knitter muscle.

    Yippee! A scaled-back DRT is a great idea. I am so happy you are doing this again. Good idea for you to end up with some dish cloths, too. The racing part is fun, but it is also very nice to have a new dish cloth from this.

    I love the feathered birdy look. I hope you get some good test knitters!

    Hooray for dishrag tag. Hope the zoo was fun. It always is …..a sure thing!
