kitty knitting

(apologize for the underline.....does anyone understand Blogger formatting?)

kitty knitting. that's kind of a cute name for something. like this blog post!!!! duh!!

so, i called this post 'kitty knitting' because i will be featuring pictures of both my kitty, and my knitting.

i think it makes sense.

let's get going!


KITTY

i thought to myself, "where is ruby tuesday?" and then i saw a strange lump under my covers....



SLEEPY TUESDAY!!!!! she's sleeping right next to Buck!!!



awwwww!!! look at that little tongue!




she's so tired and cute!!!! isn't she the cutest ever?!? after i took these photos i covered her back up and said, "goodnight!"

i love her so much.



KNITTING

so, i had mentioned that the orange scarf i was knitting has this curling problem. i have never had this happen with anything else. my dear friend Renee who reads from Colorado is an expert knitter/artisan and co-writes her own crafty blog with my other dear friend, Dave. you should click and read about all their tasty cooking adventures.

anyways. Renee said that if i posted pictures of the scarf, she would diagnose the prob!

so, here ya go!!!



ORANGE!!!!!




curling, wtf!?






i read something about blocking online the other night and wonder if i'll have to do this? like, when you wet the knitting and then press it into shape while it dries. that sounds easy enough....i hope i don't have to start all over.

but right now, it would make an awesome sleeve if i knitted the sides closed.

i really like this scarf. i just bought a dark teal puffy vest on sale from Old Navy and i think it will look pretty freaking hip with this scarf.

PICTURE THIS:

red plaid shirt, orange scarf, dark teal puffy vest

whoa. people won't know what to think of me - i'll be SO cool.

i love that shirt. i wore it again yesterday. just wearing it, i feel cooler than everyone else. horrible? maybe. confidence-boosting? yup.


alright. i'm alone now. my dad is on his way to Berwick, Maine to stay there for a few days. to see Kara.

he's moving back to Canada, my dad. next monday, the 25th. one-way ticket from boston to british columbia. i'm very excited for him, but it's also one of the reasons i've been sad all week. i'm really going to miss him. especially after hanging out with him all week.

he's coming back to stay with me sometime next week....maybe thursday or friday. and then he's off on a new adventure.

actually, i will take this time to post about a different kitty. Tilly. or, Miss Tilly. she is another very sweet cat. her and Ruby Tuesday are sisters. and my dad is trying to find a home for her...



Tilly is the grey one in the middle. Rainbow is in front of her, and Jackie is behind.

Tilly is very squeaky. she's always making these really cute squeaker noises. she doesn't really like being held, but she's very sweet and loves playing.

here's her craigslist listing.

let me know!



okay. i think that's all. i'm trying to decide whether or not to have pancakes tonight for supper, or tomorrow for breakfast. i think maybe tonight. i've had this tab open with a pancake recipe ALL week in my browser. and i have some Andes mints that i'm going to cut up and put in the pancakes. and once i finally make the pancakes, i can either close the tab, or save the recipe.

yeah, i think tonight for supper.

alright. have a good night, everyone. i'll talk to you all again sometime soon.
