Update time!
Since you all probably think I knit nothing at all, given the lack of photos, here's an almost completed Tubey sleeve:
I am not sure how much longer to make it. It fits now, but I don't know if the contsruction will take inches out of it and make it NOT fit. I'm really happy with the colours. I'm making it in Jet, in colours approximating those in the original pattern. Original, I know, but I like them.
I also bought some yarn today to make Argyle, from Magknits. Look, pretty dusty pink! It was 20% off, and I have convinced myself that Tubey would not be a good project to take on the 15-or-so-hour bus trip I have coming up at the end of the week. What a shame! I'll just *have* to start another one...It is blowing a gale here. Literally, according to the Bureau of Meterology. And there's SNOW forecast for tomorrow! It feels about to snow anyway, but this is the first official snow.
Just to make people smile, here is a photo from Easter, taken in my Grandparents' yard. They're rosellas. Pretty, huh?

It's just not fair, we get blackbirds and sparrows and the occasional bluetit if we're lucky and you get blinkin' parrots. Somebody call immigration!
Your tubey is looking good. I really liked the original colours too - if it ain't broke don't fix it.
The yarn for your argyle is a gorgeous colour and I agree, you 'have' to start it.
fantasic looking tubey there! very lovely indeeedy!
at my parent's house, we were overrun by parrots!! so so many of them. they are cute though :)
The tubey would be happier if you were happier knitting on a trip -- yes, start a new one!
Hard to believe you're moving into winter. It's been springy and lovely here.
I had a bird just like that for years my ex has him now..There called lorikeets (lory) There ABSOLUTELY Beautiful and so much fun!
