Sometimes it's about the knitting

For instance, here's my lastest FO, a pair of picot-edged anklets for the Breast Cancer Care Center. I think the Tilli Tomas cashmere blend makes nice, soft, comfy bed footies.

Work continues on the new room in our apartment. Because of the addition's roof line, one window had to be moved. It was a little claustrophobic this week until our new window went in yesterday. There's plastic over the insulation, so no cats have been harmed in the construction of this window.
I didn't get a pic of Isabellie hanging out in the sunlight patch on the floor, but I have a feeling there will have plenty of other photo ops.

One of the last tweaks I needed to do in the bathroom was line the ancient metal medicine cabinet (rusty and dirty!) I was on a hunt for a paper that would blend with the pale green side panels of the cabinet, yet still work with the rest of the room. I found this contact paper which is almost exactly matches the faux marble of the vanity. Score! So while carpenters were buzzing and hammering, I prettified the cabinet.
