This is what I have been working on for the last 2 days. I cast on about 7:00pm Tuesday night and this is how far I have gotten on it. It is the Dangerous Dinosaur jumper from Handknits For Kids by Lucinda Guy. I really hate doing intarsia so I hope that the bumps will smooth out after I have finished it. There is supposed to be a dinosaur on the back too, but I am just doing it on the front. I know its cheating but I dont want to do it all over again, so one on the front will be fine. This is for my nephew who will be 3 years old in October so it should not take too long to finish up now. Maybe by the end of next week I hope. The kids are on school holidays as of tomorrow afternoon, so I may get some extra time in if they keep each other occupied. I have also been knitting another small item, but until I sew it up there wont be any photos. I hope it turns out okay, but if it doesnt it will go into the charity bin! Well I better get back to finishing the front and then it will be time to cook up some dinner.

That is so cute! I think a dinosaur on the back would be too too much. You knit so fast!
This is amazing and you really knit fast too. Please show pictures of it when it's done too!
It looks really good! My daugher is sitting with me and is very excited about the dinosaur. LOL
That looks amazing from here!!!! I have always wanted to learn intarsia. You make it look so fast and easy.
wow looks so lovely!!!!! I have the book but doubt I could do such a beautiful pattern!
Love the dinosaur:) I'm just glad it's you doing it and not me, I would get all tangled up and make a mess of it.
Hi Sue, thanks for the lovely comment on my blog. The dinosaur jumper is looking lovely! Love the colours combination...
Oh, how cute is that?! And I can't believe how fast you've been knitting it up! I'm way impressed by your intarsia work, I'm totally hopeless when it comes to working with more colors/balls of yarn, unfortunately! Lovely color combination too!
