Fall in Love



This is my baby. Kitty was sleeping with all fours in the air, but as usual, stopped being utterly cute and funny as soon as the camera came out. She was cooking the tummy in the heat of the gas logs (out of the right of the photo). She's still cute.




Here's a shrug (Drops 98-38) I'm making for my DD. It's a quicky knit...after you decipher the clear as mud instuctions. I'm having some minor brain cramps trying to understand which side the increases are supposed to be on or getting past the point that the chart starts with a purl row, but the pattern has you starting with a right-side knit row. Like what are you supposed to do with that? I am slogging through it anyway. It's really turning out adorable. It'll be an FO soon. Oh! And you know what's really awesome? I stash busted 5 yr. old Wool-Ease (Oxford Gray) for this project. Whoo-hoo!




Last, but certainly not least is a 3-Button Wrap in Lime Blue Malabrigo worsted. Dreamy! This yarn was a Christmastime purchase last year. I have big square lime colored buttons for it too.

I forgot how pretty your Malabrigo was! I look forward to starting my wrap with the Malabrigo I also bought at Christmas last year. Maybe that yarn should be in my suitcase when I come and visit for the holiday. BTW, 3 buttons? I thought it was only 2. Kitty is adorable as always. Hoorah for stashing busting, especially when you realize you have one to bust. Loves ya sis!
