We managed to get Zippo’s medicine in him. He’s a big baby and loved to cuddle. I went and filled the dropper and Doug held him tighter. I came over, grabbed his nose and squirted down his throat. He ran off, but he was back to cuddle in a little while.
I finished one end of the wimple. See the little picots?
I took a smaller needle and ran it through the first row of stitches. You have to be careful not to catch the waste yarn.
Then I pulled the waste yarn out with no problems and untied it.
Now, I am ready to do the picot edge and it’ll be done.
Poor baby!
Zippo knows he needs extra attention.
Hey! You! Get over here and get this fire started!
See the turquoise yarn? It’s the sock yarn that I used to make gloves a while back. I should have taken pictures when I started. I knot my waste and working yarn together using whatever will be easy to unknot. It shouldn’t be tight. Hold your needle and knot end of your yarns in your right hand like you were going to knit. Hold loosely. Some people hold two needles together. I can’t do this. I hold the knot down with my pinkie and ring finger against my palm. You do know that I am picturing this in my mind, don’t you? Now, with the thumb and index finger of your left hand, you need to separate the two yarns. I keep my working yarn on my index finger, but what ever works for you. With you needle, go under the waste yarn and pick up a loop from the working yarn. Next, go over the waste yarn and pickup. Keep going back and forth like this until you have the number of stitches that you need. I put another loose knot at the end and cut the waste yarn. Clear as mud? Good. Here’s what I have done so far.
I’m going to go along like this until I like the length.
These awards are not in order of importance. It would cause me to think and I have decided not to do that today.
Look at this hole. I really like these socks. So—-do I take them apart back to the heel or patch it? I think this is going to be left for summer.
See the little bridge on the right? There is a sharp curve before and after. This picture was taken earlier in the week.
Maude, on the other hand, believes in falling.
Big, brave Zippo shows off.
Cat toast.
Cat help.
“Fluffy- Knitter extraordinaries! She says that she is up the creek without a paddle but I say she has both paddles in the water plus we both like Pavarotti. I would love to spend an afternoon with you. We could knit and listen to music and talk about books and old movies. Plus I love her cats…they crack me up!”
Zippo suggested a little sewing. He was right of course. Now, I just have put on the binding.
Sorry about this one. I was on the phone.
Sock yarn for new gloves.
I have been thinking about this set of needles for quite a while. They go from zero to three(0, 1, 1 1/2, 2, 2 1/2, 3) and there are six needles of each size. And they are in pretty colors. I really like Kristin Knits. It has very good instructions with good illustrations and charts. Drunk, Divorced and Covered in Cat hair looked like fun.
Got to go. Doug’s making a fire.
