The two top photo's are my op-shop finds, blue wool is totem shade 9009 and the black/white mix was a jumper with silk, cotton and wool with a small amount of mohair that took ages to unravel! The bottom photo is how they look together . The free pattern is from knit.1 magazine winter 2007 . there's a very sweet sheep as well. The pattern uses a fiesta wool/silk mix, the gauge is 5 mm needles, 19 sts, 23 rnds to 10 cm, using St st. So what I did was try different yarn and needle combo's until I had the gauge right. The picture has pretty good detail so I could see that the yarn was quite thick, all I have to do now is get knitting!!! http://www.knit1mag.com/
