I had bought some lovely black DK yarn back in January and thought this would make a smart, semi-formal cardi.

I've knitted the back and almost the left front, but with other commitments at the moment I soon found that I would have to knit quite intensely if I wanted to finish it in time - so I got a bit bored and now it looks like it's heading for the cupboard (for a short time, hopefully).

What do you do when you're bored with knitting a cardi? I can't just sit and not knit!
Knit a rat, of course!
The pattern is from Claire Garland's book Knit and Purl Pets.
There are plenty more fun patterns in the book to make - but now I've been distracted into crocheting a doily. I will eventually finish the other projects but for now I'm enjoying being distracted.
LOL! He's so cute. I don't knit - just crochet, but this is quite the guy. Best wishes, Ronda from
