… Kashka’s cat bed is finished. and she uses it. (and she looks quite cute in it).

unfortunately, my motherboard is near death so the pics are trapped in the camera. (along with some pics of the squirrel that inhabits the tree outside the upstairs bathroom window. I feel the need to compete with my sister’s photos of birds and squirrels. there’s also a freaky pic of Kashka.)

I also spent yesterday weaving in the ends on bibs #2 & #3 and finishing the sailboat hat (ends woven and two of the four applique pieces attached).

and I put the attempt at machine knitting a hat onto the needles so it can be finished. only problem is I don’t know how long to make it. will have to ponder that a bit more.

oh, and I bought the pattern for Wicked on the weekend and started swatching. I’m trying to work out how to make the Classic Elite Princess (color 3432) fit the gauge of the pattern. so far I love working with the yarn, I just wish it was closer to the pattern’s gauge. (pattern adjustment math would be a lot easier with the computer. or a calculator.)

I also finished listening to all six Harry Potter books on CD (started around Christmas), so I’m not sure what to watch/listen to while knitting now.

the socks. yeah. I’ve got the heel turned and all that on the first one. and then they spoke to me - the yarn thinks it wants to be legwarmers. (the fact that a bit of glitz was making my foot itch while trying them on might have something to do with this.) well, at least they spoke at the end of the heel and not just before beginning the toe. they’re in limbo now.

which means that today’s bus knitting will be brown sock swatching for dh’s socks. (assuming I stay awake.)
