Buttoned Neck Band

 

Not sure of the yardage, I used the ball to make mitts, a hat and then the band with a bit from some leftover hat I had made earlier.  Gauge is not important for this.

Cast on 40 stitches

(Pattern)
Knit 3, K2, P2 to last 3 stitches, knit 3
Knit 3, P2, K2 to last 3 stitches, knit 3

Repeat these rows till piece is about an inch longer than needed to cover your neck.

K3, K2 cast off 3 or 4 stitches (depends on size of your buttons)
K3, K2, con't in pattern casting on amount of stitches where you cast off in previous row.
Follow in pattern for 1-2 inches cast off in pattern.

Sew on buttons and enjoy.

This is my first pattern, very simple and quick to knit. I made this for a woman who works with heavy equipment so nothing is hanging to get caught in the moving parts.  The ribbing makes it stretchy so it can be pulled up over the face.

This was not made for the person in these pictures.  He does like it so much he always steals it to wear when she has it with her.

 

Here he is in his Jedi Knight pose.

of needles and kittens

It's a Weasel!!!  Actually it's a kitty, her name is Weasel because she attacks legs and arms like the weasel on Bugs Bunny.

Isn't it cute how you can put a kitten in a bag and all is well but...

Put a kitten in a sweater and they forget how their legs work?

 

Poor Luna is so confused by the wiggly floor kitty in a sweater. lol

My bag, go away Lacey!

She only looks grumpy, but she really didn't want to get out!

KFC crispy strips and Mars Bars

Here is the 14-piece as I brought it home.  Look how low the lid sits in the bucket.

I'd say it was a little less than half a bucket.

that's the lid slid down the side

Here I'm holding the lid on the bottom.

 

The coating was light and not all that crispy, it also fell off the chicken.  It did not have that delicious taste of 11 different herbs and spices that the regular chicken has.  It was rather bland with the texture kind of like that found on battered fish..

 

Even the fries was not filled.  This is a medium box, it came with the strips like this.

MMM Mars Bar 2-pack.

 

You can fold it in half without damaging the chocolate inside.

 

I tried to twist the end.
 

 

Instead I folded it up underneath, lots of room to play with before opening it.

 

A look at the two bars outside the wrapper.  Remember when they used to fill the wrapper.  They need to make the bar bigger or the wrapper smaller.  I don't think they'll do either because they don't want to give us what we pay for and they don't want the bar to look small on the shelf.  Pretty sad world we live in now.
