What a great knit Urbanista turned out to be! I cast on last Friday, June 18. I finished it on Saturday, June 19!

\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nDoesn’t it look great?! I didn’t do much else on the Friday, so it wasn’t super speedy, but it wasn’t a long, drawn out project, either. And sometimes a two day project is exactly what I need.

\nIn the end we went with the stockinette side out, it just looks neater, I think.
\nSpecs:
\nPattern: Urbanista<\/a> from Knitty, Summer 2009, by Woolly Wormhead<\/a>
\nNeedles: 3.75mm Knitpicks Options
\nYarn: Spotlight Basics 8ply Pure Wool
\nMods: Apart from turning it inside out, none!

\nDavid’s worn it every day this week, so I think this is a success!
\nBecause he is the most appreciative recipient of my knitwear, I started a scarf for him this week, too.
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nIt’s just the Yarn Harlot’s “One Row Handspun Scarf”<\/a> in some Dream In Color Classy from The Loopy Ewe<\/a>.
\nTwo weeks ago, I finally caught a Wollmeise update, which contained Pfefferminz Prinz in the 100% Merino Superwash base. I have been trying to score this colourway for what seems like forever. I’d even come across updates in progress which didn’t have this colour so I didn’t buy anything. At All. Anyway, my beloved Pfefferminz Prinz showed up this week, and I’m not disappointed, it’s gorgeous!
\nMarina<\/a> asked to see the PP next to the Needlefood sock club<\/a> shipment when it arrived. It hadn’t occurred to me how to similar the colours were until Marina asked, but she’s right!
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nThe Needlefood<\/a> yarn is lighter in colour, but definitely in the same colour family and they’re both beautiful!
\nToday’s bear is a little one, and is actually the first bear I ever made.
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nThe ears are a little big, giving her a bit of a mouse-y appearance, but I’m still proud of her. It’s a very easy pattern, there’s no paw pads or anything, making it an ideal first bear. I still have the pattern somewhere, maybe I should give it another go!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
