Not just for ponchos anymore

And the progress on the Olivest. It's about 5 inches worth. I figure I have about 8-9 more to go to the underarm.

Valentine's in March

"Love" for Mom - in Eros and Colorlash on #10 Brittanys.

"Pepe LePew" also for Mom. I'm not sure why she wants to look like a zebra, but hey - I love working with Splash, so who am I to argue with Mom? This is a boa in 11 stitches on #10s (what can I say-it's what I had in my knitting bag when I started to knit it up!)

Spring is a state of mind

Aria in periwinkle. The pattern is a simple YO, K2together on # 7 Inox needles.

I couldn't decide on a Rowan Kidsilk Haze color - so in addition the periwinkle, I picked up this teal. And meanwhile back at the shop, there's a lovely rose (almost the same color as my shirtsleeve in the pic.)

Chchch-changes

It's been a very busy week here in Cattyville. The upside is I start a new job on Monday. The downside? I start a new job on Monday. That being said, my knitaddiction is suffering.

I did finish Plush Blanket - since I couldn't find a shade of Plush that went with the rainbow colorway, I ended up knitting the whole blankie in one color and used Gatto in an acid green as a double crocheted border. And it works nicely. Trust me; the picture is coming.

I also started and finished a black and white Splash boa for Mom (who loved SkinnyMcGinny II). The scarf definitely has a Pepe LePew vibe which should make Mom happy - she likes the Warner Bros. crew.

I figured since I was mailing Mom a scarf, I should make it worth the postage and send two. So I've started a triangular dress scarf in the leftover jeweltoned Eros from "Mata II" with the fuschia Colorlash from "Flame". And as usual? I've run out of yarn 80% through the knitting.

Objects in the lens...

Are closer than they appear. This is my friend Comet. Or actually, Comet's nose. And rump. Comet lives on my friend Annie's farm along with sheep, goats, pigs, chickens, cats, dogs, and more llamas. Comet's likes include sneaking up behind you and attempting to give hickeys and making sure Heidi the goat doesn't get any loving that could possibly be redirected to her.
