clear and cold

forecast for the next several days is clear and cold. highs not getting out of the 30's. that's pretty cold for us here in seattle. there is even mention of snow this weekend, although i doubt it (if it does, i will be sure to get it, after all i live in the covergence zone, yeah! - oh and megan will too since she is almost a neighbor). knitting content you say? well all this means that flora will be ever so useful this week.



i recommend this quick and easy project! i stayed up way too late sunday night knitting the flower and watching zoolander. man i love that movie!

i never posted about the knitting i did for the super bowl. i made my dad a seahawks stocking cap and whipped little chasey up an old school wristwarmer. i remember when my brother had the real thing!



yeah, it didn't last long. he got really good at ripping it off with his teeth :)

socks are progressing (i had to rip back a couple of rows twice last night because i kept "losing" a stitch). I am still in love with the pattern and ta-dah! they do fit.

i cast on for another project last night. i'll post about that later, it will be appropriately titled "when crap yarn finds it's calling." intrigued? stay tuned!

I love that little wrist warmer! My cats wouldn't put up with it either.

Ok, I know I'm probably out of it, but didn't you just blog a while ago about seeing cute kitties, and how you wanted one, but not yet? Or is that your parent's kitty? Very sweet paw warmer. :)

And Flora- love it!!!

Hahaha! Amy! That little kitty wristband. What a hoot! (thanks for making my day!). I know my cat would freak if I put something like that on her.

Your Flora is gorgeous! The greens are fresh for spring. Is it wool? What yarn? I might I have search your blog to see if you mentioned what yarn. ;)

Wrap up in all those faboo scarves and hats as it's gonna get down right chilly around here (I can feel it already...I've been so freezing lately)! Brrrrr...

Flora looks awesome! Great color too. Kudos on the excellent choice of movie to knit by, that's one of my faves too.

Beautiful Flora! And I can't wait to hear . . . crap yarn does have its place! I often buy crap yarn when I'm otherwise on a yarn diet. It's so cheap it's like you're not even spending money!

Lovely Flora! Love the green ;)

Old skool cat. That is so fly.

Wow, Flora turned out cool! And don't worry that your Jane Fonda Workout Wristband was rejected by the cat. It can find a new life as a hot dog cozy.

What a cute little kitty wristband! I doubt either of my kitties would go for it. One of my favorite picture of our female cat, Syd, is of her wearing a bow tie on Halloween. The picture was snapped quickly before she got it off and I think she was even frowning in the picture. Your flora looks great BTW.
