Here is my entry. The cardi is modular knitted in a soft inexpensive verigated yarn and the worse bit was sewing in all the long ends as each diamond is knitted by picking up stitches from the previous one. It was trial and error as I made up the design as I went along. Oh and I have enough yarn from the ball to knit a pair of mittens.

Thank you for the nice comments.
Emmilou modular knitting is like a walk in the park, if you can count you can knit it. It is based on a square and the quarters that make it up. The size of the square obviously depends on how many stitches you work with. An example is cast on 23sts, k first row and alternate rows, row 2) k10, s1, k2tog, psso, k10. row4) k9, s1, k2tog, psso, k9, repeat these rows decreasing in the centre as row 2 and 4, till there are 3st left, k3tog. Don't cast off this stitch but pick up another 10st from the side of first square then cast on another 12sts (23sts) and start the process again. If you want to do diamonds it is just as easy.
Buzy Lizzy. You are right it is Hobby Craft yarn and cost me all of 79p. I can't let you have a copy of the pattern as I made it up and adjusted it as I went along, unfortunately I didn't write it down but intend knitting another and doing so. If you PM me with your e-mail address I will send it to you when I do. It may take a while as I am busy with another project at the moment.
Finally got the piccie sorted for the challenge - & surprise surprise it's a teapot jumper!!! I think I'll call this one "FlowerBasket" as the bottom is basket stitch & the top st.st. It took 35g of dk & odds & ends from my stash for the flowers.
Well hopefully this is 3rd time lucky to get my challenge entry in the right place!!! It's a teapot jumper in dk which I'm calling Flower Basket as the bottom is done in Basket st. It took 35g of dk & a few bits of wool from my stash for the flowers.
