It's a set of circular knitting needles of varying lengths. Just what I needed.

A tea cosy made in the colours of my cycling club, Cleveland Whelers, in the team coliours of blue, red and yellow.

This is the back of the cotton top, after the second try. I forgot to include the shoulder shaping on the first attempt. I think my enthusiasm got in the way.

I've got so much to finish right now this minute so I can get on with other things that I've hardly had time to think never mind type.

The everlasting jumper still needs yarn for the sleeves, which it almost got last Friday but the colour match wasn't good enough. New supplies should be with me shortly. Let's hope so.

The cotton top has gained a complete front and I am halfway up the back. Despite the way it looks the pattern repeats are quite easy to remember, although the holes across the middle are very easy to knit straight past.

The aran cycling jacket is also well underway.

This is the side piece, I have knitted the second one since. I discovered a neat trick when I knitted the pocket.

As the pocket is knitted in with the front it tends to flap about as you knit. Safety pins are a useful way of securing the work, and you don't have that dreaded 'lost pin' moment that you get when you use ordinary sewing pins in knitting.

Finished gloves.

Sometimes knitting seems to drag on forever, and then suddenly zip! pow! It's finished. That's pretty much how these gloves went. They are a repaired set, they took a long time, and I'm sure that there are folks thinking 'It would have been easier to buy some more'. Well, it depends how you define easier I suppose, and from my efforts here I've worked out a sure-fire way to make some new gloves that fit perfectly first time. You'll have to wait and see how I do that, there's plenty more on the go here, but at least I've knocked one item from the list.
