Bits & Pieces
Oregon Vest:
Zipper has arrived!
Installation to commence as soon as I can squeeze it in.
Stashbuster Top-Down Raglan:
Passed a major milestone this week- finished the raglan shaping and put the sleeve stitches on hold.
The rounds go so much faster now that there are about 1/3 fewer stitches on the needles!
Spinning:
First skein of Chone! (Sadie inspecting)
You can tell it’s him by the persistent little veg bits sprinkled throughout. That’s my little Pigpen. 🙂
New Girl on the Block
The Male to Female ratio is finally balanced on the homestead.
Meet Sadie!
Sadie came to us from the Whatcom Humane Society, in Bellingham, WA.
She’s a sweet, happy girl who loves to pose for photos (yea!)
and roll in chicken droppings (eeks!)
She’s got a few pounds to lose before she can really romp like she wants to,
But she is such a love.
A big, squishy, golden love.
Wally is a little jealous (he’s been getting crazy amounts of attention as an only dog),
but he’ll get over it.
And Boo Kitten has gone into seclusion to contemplate the implications of this development.
Off the Needles, On the Needles
Huey and Franklin vest, ABZ (all but zippered):
And a new top-down raglan cast-on poolside in Miami:
Also got a start on some splashy socks:
that also got their start on vacation.
But I tell you what- I just found this book, and it might have changed my whole outlook on footcoverings-
Cat Bordhi is a sock genius. Truly.
I can’t wait to give this new technique a try…. but I guess I’ve got to do the matcher for this little guy first.
