resistance is futile

penny on December 30, 2009

Over a year ago I saw this pattern and I knew I needed to knit it as a surprise for the computer engineer in my life.

I adapted the pattern by ditching the specified worsted weight and adopting a more penny-happy weight– pearl 8 cotton! I never got around to adding eyes, but that’s ok as he likes it anyway.

    I love pearl cotton–its wonderful for lace (collars and cuffs!) and for book markers (its soft enough, and thing enough to actually work (vs heavier yarn that is just too thick!)

    there are some lovely book marker patterns available free on the internet–(i’ve knit a few!)
