Oops! Looks like it! The people who tested it for me didn't catch that. I'll change it above. Thanks for pointing that out. :)

Hehe very cute. The name is clever too! I can just imagine making a bunch of these in different sizes, each with a different colour solution. Great job!

On Ravelry, a couple of people have made beakers to go with their Earl. But I think I like your idea even BETTER! Thanks for the sweet comments. The name was my hubbie's idea. :)

Hehe. As soon as I saw Earl, into my head popped a line of Earls going from smallest to largest, lined up in rainbow formation! If I ever actually execute this idea, I'll be sure to let you know :)

P-20 Pipetman
I just wanted to start by saying your skill is simply amazing, I love looking at all the fun stuff you create. I have a friend who is a scientist who is doing studies on cats and he would just LOVE having Pipetman if the pattern is available. Do you have pipetman pattern on etsy that I might be able to purchase or maybe be willing to email it to me?

Thank you in advance,

Justin

Re: P-20 Pipetman
Thanks so much Justin for your kind words! Unfortunately, the P-20 is one of a kind. I didn't write down the pattern as I was making it because there was a lot of ripping out and redoing to get the right shape. If I had a pattern, I'd share it with you! If you have made many amis, you could probably wing it like I did, though. There was a lot of holding it in my hand to see if the shape felt right. If not, I'd back up and make it bigger or smaller to get the right feel. If you decide to go for it and if I can help at all, let me know.

Good luck!
Shanna
