Aunty Biscuit has been in the process of knitting an intermittent jumper.  I initially thought that this was a particular technique like for example intarsia, especially as it seems to involve the use of three knitting needles.  I have finally got round to looking it up on woofapedia – its not.  It is a system where you do a bit, then put it to one side for a while, then do a bit more.  The three needles comes into it because it is a striped jumper so you do the back and front at the same time.  You then collect more part balls of yarn before continuing, all very baffling for a little dog.  It has reappeared so is clearly at the" come out and do a bit more" stage and very colourful it is too.
