I knitted up the Alien Illusion from Stitch and Bitch. The chart confused the heck of me in the beginning, though I forget why.
If you've never seen or heard of illusion knitting before, it's a way of knitting with two colors, where purl stitches raise one color so an image is seen when it's at an angle.
Face on it looks like this:
From an angle you see the illusion!
If you want to learn more about illusion knitting, here is a great place to go for how to, and a variety of illusion knitting patterns.
This will be my last completed project for a few days, it's because me and my fella are going to Gualala, a little ocean town a few hours away for the weekend.
