It started snowing when we were out walking this morning. I turned back, but Doug kept going. By the time he got back, everything was white. I’m a big chicken when it comes to snow. I’ve fallen too many times.
Maude, on the other hand, believes in falling.
Big, brave Zippo shows off.
They were in before too long.
Cat toast.
Cat help.
I finished my hat last night and wore it today. It now covers my ears nicely.
And I finished the table runner this afternoon.
Thanks, christine, for the help on the award. Maybe, I’ll get to them tomorrow.
“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.
Maude enjoyed hiding in the cover.
Sorry about this one. I was on the phone.
I will send out my awards tomorrow. Hopefully, I’ll be in a better mood.
This picture should have told me something. But, then, Noro is very loosely spun compared to this yarn.
It was so cold this morning I could not relax. I kept tensing up and that just made me feel worse. Nancy, if you ever move back to Maine, I’ll come visit you in the Summer.
I think I ‘ll put on some Pavarotti and work on the tree. Some days, I don’t turn it on until dusk so I think it’s time.
It’s good enough for me.
These gloves were a lot of fun to make. I still have most of a ball left for a scarf. Also, it’s a good way to know keep track the yarn when you have to put in a new finger or thumb on your gloves.
The old boys decided it was sweater day.
First we had rain, then snow and now it’s raining again.
Can you see the ducks on the other side in the water?
Maude was SOOO bored!
My table runner is almost done. I am not happy with it. I’ll probably feel better when its done. I really should be working on tree. Maybe later. I went shopping on line for yarn. I know I need more yarn like a hole in my head, but my Noro Kureyon gloves can’t take another repair. I found Kureyon Sock Yarn in the same colorway. I bought two for gloves and socks. The store also had free shipping with no minimum purchase. I was happy.
This morning.
This evening. Myuushi is always helpful.
When I have to pick up new stitches between the fingers, I pick up twice as many, the knit 2tog. It helps to close the gap. I also do this on heels when making socks.
Here’s my purple and black sweater with my new hat and gloves. Now, I have to make a scarf.
I am a bit pookie today. My cold is still there and i am not happy. I know I don’t have bronchitis. Been there. Done that. I just wish it would go away. We rode down to the supermarket in Laurel. They carry the tuna the cats like and we got some treats for Elvis. How do you spend $100 when you feel like a zombie? I bought some bananas and grapes. I almost bought oranges before realizing that I still had some.
Maude took my advice and went to bed at 8PM last night. Zippo had to find other accommodations.
He was still mad this morning.
For the past two nights, Zippo has gone to bed early in Maude’s favorite sleeping place–the dirty clothes basket. What could be better than Mom’s dirty underwear? She looked so sad. I told her she should go to bed sooner, but she said Zippo had ruined the flavor. When I went to bed, I laid my clothes on the settee. She curled up on them and went to sleep.
The hat is finished. I am glad that I decided to add another row of squares. It made the hole bigger, but I just did a few more rows of decreases before starting the I-cord. I like it much more than the last one. Speaking of which, I started the gloves last night.
I have already decided to take this out and make a swatch on size 2’s. This rib is a tad too loose for me. I worked on the back of the table runner, but I was getting frustrated. I couldn’t think straight. Or was it that I could think straight when I needed to think diagonally? Zippo was no help.
The road to Dover was busy for a change and it took me longer. Between the crazies and the clueless, it’s a wonder I ever made it. I had hoped to do a little shopping before class, but it had all ready started when I got there. It was a good class and I learned some new things. I will be able to do a lot more than with my old software. I thought that I would sell it. I have been watching the prices on E-Bay.
I have to uninstall the old and install the new. Maybe, I will do it tomorrow. I want to finish the hat tonight and I want to embroider the Maine Coon that I didn’t get around to today. I need to do some house work tomorrow. We are going out with the neighbors and I don’t want them to think we are complete slobs. I have got to wash my hair, too. So I don’t think I’ll have new software until Saturday. I’ll be lucky if I have time to blog tomorrow.
