I've been working hard on

I've been working hard on DH's sweater, and am already halfway up the back, yippee!!
No pictures, because it's still boring, LOL! Look at the picture from the front a few days ago, and imagine it only half way up. :)
Em has been busy, too.

That's her "Little Friend". She is knitting it as a gift for a teacher for christmas. That's the face that she's up to now. She has followed the pattern to the letter, but I think I'll have a look at it before she knits another, and eliminate that first ridge on the "neckband" where you can see where she changed colours.
After the face, she does a few rows of "hair" then casts off, sews it together into a tube, ad sews the top closed. Then we knit arms and legs with a french knitter.
Becky asked the other day if we have a French Knitter. The kit for the Little Friend came with a cute little one :)

Here in Australia we commonly call them French Knitters, Knitting Nancy's or Knitting Nanna's. At the end, the whole lot is felted, so it is very forgiving of little mistakes that may happen :)
She's moving along on it alot faster than I expected her to, and she apparently has plans for a whole army of little Friends for Christmas Gifts.
Look out, World :)
