we had a great day spending our time with

paul

and friends

 

paul was sleeping the whole time we were there

he is so perfect!! so small and totally adorable!

.................

we opened the bbq season for this year today

staying with friends and having a glas of wine

and some good food

what else could we want more??

 

 

 

 tigger always takes a seat at the table

when we are outdoors to eat

think he would kill for some spicy lambfilet

[he mustn't kill for it, he normally gets what he wants]

did a few changes to make it mine

gauge. 20sts = 4 in

needles. 4mm circulars for ribbing and main part

 

recalculated numbers due to different gauge

only 10 rows twisted ribs between increase rows

only 3 increase rows for waistshaping

shortened body 

added 2 more rows to the ribbed bottom

for buttonbands picked up 2 sts per 3 rows

and worked in twisted rib 

have nice days
