We're are still a family of five, two cat guardians (me and Mr. Grump) and the three feline overlords, Delilah, Macy Gray, and The Monkey.
Macy likes to lounge with us in the living room |
Yes, I posed them but Monkey and Delilah lay like this for a while |
The most gorgeous face in the cat world |
Delilah has some health issues that we are mostly attributing to get up in years (she's maybe 11 or 12?) - her weight dropped off dramatically and we had to start her on medicine to regulate her thyroid. She put the weight back on and we are trying to monitor her more closely. She's not as active as she used to be, more lethargic but not in a scary way. Just an overall lazier way. She takes after me, or I take after her. It's hard to get a picture of her sitting upright, she does a lot of laying down.
Macy is a robust cat, who rarely has any issues, and The Monkey, well, she's still a kitten so she's all over the place, not to mention a really effective huntress.
I'm working on a ripple (baby) blanket right now, as well crochet place mats. I don't have any big projects ongoing. I have a Missoni-style blanket on the needles, but it's been sitting untouched for a while. It's hard to knit a blanket when it's ridiculously humid outside.
Stash-buster baby blanket |
place mat made from t-shirt yarn (fun project; I've made two; have two left to finish) |
My sister-in-law visited the UK this month and promised to send me some yarn from Ireland. I have to wait and see if I actually get it. I found the most beautiful cowl pattern and I hope I can use that yarn for this project.
Not my project - this is from the pattern page - it is simply beautiful I will find the right yarn and the knit the hell out of this |
