Red Trellis Tam #8

Row30 - 45

Two rows or so past the third cable decrease row
P2, k1, k2 tog, k1 around

I am starting to run out of yarn so I will add a new red yarn, introducing it every other row so if the dye lot is not the same the color will blend. The only other option is to finish the tam off and then it might be too small.
See photo.

Wake up kitty

Poor old Bob my big Tom cat is hiding from the morning light. He is on the corner of my bed and does not look like he is ready for the day to begin.

I have to get my knitting inventoried and ready for display at the Dragon Fly Studio this week end. I wish I had more items finished but my fascination with making things with more complex designs means every item took many more hours to complete than the things I was making before on big needles. I am working on finishing up some mittens today. I will post pictures later.

Still knitting

Some of my knitted accessories will be in a exhibit. Everyone is invited.
