Sus on the train, having forgotten her iPod.

Meet Sus.
Gradually, over the next few months, I'm going to experiment. I've been wanting to draw more, and have been working on some cards. Sus is a knitter, a commuter and a dreamer. I hope to make some adventures for her and I hope they're enjoyable.

Knitted fish...

First, it's been a long time. Here is a tulip from my window box, which is finally weedfree, to make you feel springlike.


I knitted some fish for Samuel, the penguin who lives with Foggyknitter from BB. For those who want, here is the pattern - I have yet to add it to Rav, but can if people feel the need.

What else would a knitted or crochet penguin eat - a knitted fish!

Use any yarn of your choice and a needle a good few sizes below the recommended size. This is Artesano Alpaca DK on 2.5mm needles.
