Finished Kitty Pi...

I realised looking over the old posts (before I fell off the blogging wagon) that I never posted photos of the completed kitty-pi. I must admit it hasn't had an awful lot of use over the summer, but with the cooler weather on its way, there has been renewed interest...

Finished, but unfelted...

Unfelted Kitty Pi

Attention Seeker

After finishing a long list of outstanding projects last week (cardigan, booties, two rabbits, a long i-cord, wrist cuff), I was finally "allowed" to cast on for my first pair of socks. I was so excited- I have had the yarn (regia) for ages, bought the needles at Stitches MidWest a few weeks ago, and it has all been burning a hole in my project basket. So, last Thursday I sat down to cast on, and watch a mini-series from home I'd ordered from netflix for the occasion. Well, three rows into my first ever sock, I thought a cup of tea was in order...when I got back to the couch, this is what I found....

No Knitting, Thank You!

A certain furry flat-mate giving me the unmistakable message that she is none too happy with all the knitting and subsequent lack of attention (lack of chin-scratching time) lately. Do I need to mention that as a result of this "sit-in", my sock is still only three rows done, but I have a very contented cat....

Did I say I was back?

Whew, that was a long break....life got quite busy, but I think I'm ready to get back on the blog, at least semi regularly. Here's this weeks projects...on the left, my first mitten, following Mary's Mittens pattern (will link in next post) and on the right a fingerless mitten from Interweave knits...the staff glove project, pattern downloadable from their website..
