Did you hear about the cat who swallowed a ball of yarn?

She had mittens.

I have purchased the book, "Knitting from the Top" by Barbara G Walker and I'm almost finished a three quarter length sleeve, V neck, pullover in salmon coloured Baby Silk (80% baby alpaca, 20% silk). It is so soft I can't help stopping knitting to pet my new sweater. I bought too much yarn and will have about 150g left over. Socks? Fingerless gloves? A scarf? Please help me decide.

I spent some money on my addiction today. I bought four "Knitting Pattern-a-Day Calendar 2006" (because some of my designs have been published in it) and the book "Knitting from the Top" by Barbara Walker. I purchased them on line at elann.com so it will be a week or so before I have them in my hot little hands. I'm really looking forward to the book as I hate running out of yarn half way up the last sleeve or finding I could have made it another inch longer.
I'm currently working on a mohair jacket for myself, an Aran sweater for my sweety, DH, a little Aran sweater for my 15 month old grandson, thrummed mittens for my son and slippers for my youngest daughter and her three year old and 7 year old sons.
