More ways to use up bits and pieces:
This jacket is my second attempt at Elizabeth Zimmerman's 'surprise jacket' using leftover double knitting yarn. It is knitted in one piece and there is almost no sewing up. My first attempt was rather too large but great in the winter over lots of layers. There's a baby version too in her book 'The Opinionated Knitter'. I've passed the pattern on to several people and have seen two lovely completed jackets. My collection of bits and pieces is growing again and I can feel another jacket beckoning, perhaps in time for next winter.
Then I came across a pattern for fish hats and these are the first two I knitted for my youngest grandchildren. Another great way to use up bits and pieces. I've lost count of how many I've made.
