Tada! I present to you a toddler size (hopefully!) Bowtie Scarf. I quite fancy one myself actually, as it's turned out better than I expected. :-) 
On the needles now is.. yet another Christmas present. I had some leftover (yes, stash!) Rowan All Seasons Cotton which I'm using to make an Andalusian Baby Jacket for a friend's 1yo daughter - ah, how sweet. ;-)I love the Andalusian Stitch which is very easy but gives almost a woven look and texture to the knitting. Very satisfying.
This is the right front, which was completed very shortly after casting on..
And this is the back which is obviously on the needles right now. Not for long though - I'm almost up the the shoulder shaping. I love quick projects, especially at this time of year.
Finally, the 12 balls of Debbie Bliss Cathay in Teal that I ordered from Angel Yarns showed up last week - 2 weeks after ordering. Phew, I was getting worried. How yummy is this yarn? I'll let you guess.I looked at the pattern in more detail, and it wants another 480g of beads! What?! Hmm, that would be one heavy sweater, just asking to stretch IMO.
Instead, I'm going to knit a swatch using a purl stitch wherever the pattern asks for a bead. Watch this space..

This DB Cathay is a lovely colour. I am looking forward to the start of this gorgeous pattern...with or without beads.
I'm exceptionally envious. I am after that exact same yarn to make up the Ribbed wrapover cardi from the Cathay Collection. I'm looking forward to seeing what beauty you turn it in to :)
