The opal sock wool I ordered came, along with some nice bamboo dpns (oooh, knitting jarjon).
It seems after all the trawling the websites I possible bought the two most similar looking patterns. The balls look exactly the same.
'Oskar the dreamer' butterfly and emil who I think might be a lemur, it calls him 'attentive emil'.
I have started knitting with oskar, following silver's tutorial. It seems that according to this the new dpns I bought are too small, although they were recommended on the wool shop, so I guess it's a looser pattern. Luckily I had some the correct size from before, when I did not understand what to do with them.
It took me three goes to cast on right.
I'm on my way now, doing knit 2 purl 2.
Here it is...
I can't help but think it looks quite small. I have followed the instructions so lets just hope it's how it's meant to be.
And here is the potential sock with an alternative appropriate animal...
