Meet the New Guy

Here he is. Mom named him Jethro; I call him Fatso or Beast depending on his behavior.

Adding Another Project...

Well, I finished the February projects and am rushing on to April! Vitoria's baby's sweater is still as last reported as I took Cathleen to the ICoR Stitch and Chat in order to get her hair in place. And now there's a birthday added to the list as Mackenzie has joined the insane class at dance. April 29 is a new dealine. I'm thinking a hat. I have some lovely green Lopi I had for me, but as we're similar coloring I think it would be nice on her. Perhaps a hat. I think she'd look good in a hat. Perhaps I'll make her a Sunflower Tam, and do the second one for Bernie as planned. I could do tams for everyone!... Well, not David. I don't see him as a tam kinda guy. Anyway, that's where I'm at currently. Oh, and Monique's capelet. I should start getting that cast on...
I started another "in-my-sleep" project. I keep knitting in my bed (yes, in. Don't judge me; I'm single and insane)that I can work on without flipping lights on. I've got the first 2 sections done on the "Rambling Rows Afghan", pattern by Cottage Creations. Works up well. Am doing it crazy quilt style, so no worries about having enough yarn, and it should take me a bit, which is good. When I did the vest (Ginger Luters, Knitter's mag, winter 2006, title escaping me...), it went bloody quick! I actually don't remember knitting it except for a few of the neck sections and when I started it.
This concludes my report. I do welcome comments so don't be shy about them!

Meet Cathleen!

			Here she is. Just got her headband in place. I think Miss Cathleen looks pretty good. View Message

Well...

Cathleen's hair is dry, so need to get cracking attaching it. I've got Vitoria's baby's BSJ into the inc section; we're at 128sts, so roughly midway down the back. Still haven't ran in the ends of the Tie-Dyed Boxes. Have managed to misplace one of the sleeves for Bernie's jacket. I was going to work on it yesterday. I worked on the BSJ instead. Was at Golden Willow on Thursday and bought a bunch of Briggs&Little wool. Am planning another yoke sweater for me. Am thinking of doing similar to my Sheep-Go-Round sweater, perhaps with cats. Perhaps not. All for today... New guy still un-named.

General Update...

Well, I've got Cathleen's hair knit; just waiting for it to dry. Worked on Vitoria's baby's BSJ some more; am nearly done the dec section! Joined in a 2nd ball of the alpaca, so now the sequence of colors is slightly different. I love variegated yarns in G st. Still need to run in the ends on my Tie-Dyed Boxes. Oh, and seam Bernie's Jacket together.
In furry news, we got another cat yesterday bringing us back up to 10. So far he's not named as we don't like the name he came with: Greylo. Seriously, what kind of name is that? It's definatly not cool like Stripey Dude, Smacky and Buddy. Mom's current suggestion is "Lloyd", as it means "gray" in Welsh. Must post photo of him.
That's it today...
