Peace and Quiet

Is something I don't have right now because the CattyHome is undergoing some construction. Our landpeople are adding an addition that will include new office space for the CattyLandlord and a sunroom/wave pool (which will hopefully be open to the CattyTenants.) Today's scheduled events are a bit screwed up, so I think we will spend the rest of our day in quieter locales. But first a little knitting content:

Here's a Helena for the newest female baby in my world. I do love knitting this pattern: it's fast, interesting, and turns out beautifully. I'm knitting it with the same mods I did for Jayda's Helena: no ties, picot edging up the front, and only 5 lace pattern repeats.

I also finished Gareth's Christmas Stocking. This project was a gift for a friend: I needed to created a Christmas stocking for a new member of the family by replicating one of their current stockings. Color knitting combined with acrylic yarn was not my first choice - or even second - but I think they will happy with the results.

Since it's a rainy, cool day here, I think we are off to the bookstore for coffee and quiet. And while I'm there, I'm pretty sure I'm going to pick up this.
