There have been several things keeping me from this sort of use of my computer. There's work, of course, because there's always work. There's also spring, with its beautiful weather that makes me want to wander outside (without my laptop).
See?
There's also this and this:
I've read all the way through the book and watched the dvds.
And, most importantly, there's this:
His name is Mel. He's seven weeks old, and he weighs a little over a pound. He was really quiet yesterday, but he started making more noise (and being generally bouncier) sometime early this morning.
Cyn came over yesterday to knit and play with the kitten:
I have managed to be a bit productive this weekend, while Mel was either sleeping or playing with Cyn:
The green to-be-felted bag is about 5" longer, and with a braided cable. (There's a plain 3x3 cable on the other side. I want to see whether there'll be any texture left when it's felted.)
And I've knit a net of about two (maybe two and a half) rows of the flower-lace shawl. I'd forgotten a double-yo in one motif and added an extra in another, so I had to tink about half a row, but it's error-free now. And the bottom folder is a question from the last BBB251 exam, freshly graded. (The larger folder is four more questions, which have yet to be graded.)
Looks like it's time to try to keep the bouncy, squeaky one from banging his head on the underside of the couch again.
He's so cute!

At the sight of a kitten, I can't help an involuntary ... Awwwww! He's a cutie. I want one.

Quick comment on the felting. I saw a cabled jacket today (I think) in InKnitters that was accidentally felted. The cables were a little bit visible, but really flattened out a lot. I've been meaning to try it because i wanted to make a cabled and felted bag, but I didn't want to put all that work into it and have it all disappear.
And now I know what my little pudgy kitty looked like when he was a kitten. He's the spitting image of Garfield! SOOO cute!
