Oooh, yarn envy!!
Yes, I'm sure sausages can be chopped up prior to cooking. warning, these leak quite a deal of fat, and the pine nuts have a habit of making this fat look yellow. This is not something to worry about.

If I can be reminded, when I come in next week, I can bring some of my more esoteric pattern books...

I was thinking about sweet pea from the current knitty. I think it is even a top down pattern, so it should work within my limitations:).
