I don't know how I get myself into these tangles but I do. The origins of this are really, really wooley (I think they had something to do with a growing sense of desperation over a shortage of volunteer Cricket coaches) but I somehow commited myself to knitting on deadline. Now who would do that? In this case I have to finish three bat cozies in time for the Cricket World Cup Final which is tomorrow. (I just want it noted here that no one I know from Zimbabwe ever uses bat cozies)
My fingers are hurting and I just realized that the one I am making for my colleague Steve looks Jamaican and not West Indian. The South African one is a no brainer except I have no yellow yarn and I may need to felt the New Zealand one, because it looks too Australian.
If you consider that it's Sri Lanka and Australia in the final, I have no idea why I'm knitting cozies for these teams (maybe because they are for a South African and a nice Metis boy from Manitoba who has an obsession with a pretty Maori girl from Tauranga) but hopefully I'll be done by the time the match starts--you can't knit while you watch Cricket, it leads to way too many injuries and I need to save both eyes and my fingers for umpiring.

Welcome to the blogland.
Thank you for recognising that there *is* a difference between the Australian and New Zealand flags (even if it required additional work.)
