Here We Go
Donnell is at a quilting class, and I’m alone except for Tully, who lies on the hard floor beside me, and Tempest, who is trying desperately to get my attention. The food in his bowl isn’t quite up to snuff, apparently, though whatever fresh food I put there will grow stale within minutes.
Seconds, perhaps.
It’s quiet in the house except for the hum of the dishwasher (and the plaintive cry of the cat, though I am successfully not allowing it to drive me insane). I love the smell of an operating dishwasher.
I knit a washcloth.
He's so happy.
It’s exciting. I did it entirely on circular needles, and followed a pattern, though I haven’t woven in the loose ends. My next step is to make something that requires increases or decreases. I’m thinking a hat might be in order. Perhaps one with ear flaps and a pompom on top.
It’ll be very masculine.
Here’s a picture of a cat in a box.
I think he hurt me not long after I snapped this picture...
Have a nice day!
Hey, what happened to letting your adoring public know your blog was back? I’m glad it’s back. I thought you were joking about knitting until I realized you weren’t joking. Nice work! Happy to see a picture of Tempest. God I love that cat.
Happy New Year! Let’s blog the crap out of our WordPress blogs in 2010. No I have not had too much wine.
Then you haven’t had enough.
No thanks, I have other plans (hahahaha) Very masculine washcloth. Can’t wait to see the hat.
If you make the hat in “blaze orange” you could go hunting with me next Fall. Now, THAT would be masculine!
Alas, I’ve already started knitting it in a dark blue wool blend.
If I actually pull this off and make a wearable hat, I may well be willing to knit a blaze orange one for you, however…
Man, that’s an offer I can barely refuse. Joanne gave me a great blaze orange, insulated hooded sweatshirt for Christmas, just for that purpose. I’d hate to have you go to all that trouble for something I basically already have. Thanks for thinking of me, though.
I knit a watchcap in a beautiful camouflage wool-cashmere mix – and didn’t realize what a bad idea the color was until I was done. Sad.
