Cat sweater finished

Whoo! Cat sweater finished! Frit was the only cat who would stay still long enough for me to put it on her. I would have taken a picture of her in it, but she headed towards the cat box... pulled the sweater off before she got any ideas. *grin*


I'll get pictures as soon as the cats decide they don't hate me anymore.

Evil plans in progress

My active knitting projects are both nearly finished; I see no reason to put the list on the side for now, but here they are:

Green Blob / Mystery Not-Tank #4 (looks something like this)
I'm probably 90% done, but it's not coming out quite how I'd like... if I never finish it, it's never gone horribly wrong, right? Yeah. Ain't so bad, really... but I ain't been in the mood lately to keep creating that pattern.


Cat sweater
Made in random bits of thrift shop acrylic
I couldn't find a pattern I like, so I'm winging it.
Not being able to figure proper armhole placement, I'm going to try steeks. Better to practice on this than on a 4-month sweater, right?


Next up after I finish either of those:
Better Mousetrap Socks - Interweave Knits, Fall 2001
French Market Bag - whatever Knitty that was

That's the plan, at least... who knows.

And now, for gratuitous lyrics that will stretch out the entry... until I get enough entries to properly shape the page, this'll do... give me more breathing room to add to the sidebar.....

Nautical Wheelers who call themselves sailors
Play fiddle tunes under the stars
Petticoats rustle, workin' shoes scuffle
Shuffle on down to the bar

Where the jukebox is blastin' and the liquor is flowin'
An occasional bottle of wine
That's 'cause everyone here is just more than contented
To be livin' and dyin' in three-quarter time

And it's dance with me, dance with me, Nautical Wheelers
Take me to stars that you know
Come on and dance with me, dance with me, Nautical Wheelers
I want so badly to go

Well, the left foot'll follow
Where the right foot has travelled
Down to the sidewalks unglued
Into the streets of my city so neat
Where nobody cares what you do
Sonia's just grinnin' and Phil is ecstatic
Mason has jumped in the sea
And I'm hangin' on to a line from my sailboat
All Nautical Wheelers save me

And it's dance with me, dance with me, Nautical Wheelers
Take me to stars that you know
Come on and dance with me, dance with me, Nautical Wheelers
I want so badly to go

Well the sunrise'll bring on
Sleep that's escaped us
Everyone's off to their bed
There'll be huggin', squeezin'
Little pleazin' and teasin'
And rubbin' of each other's heads
So won't you dream on compadres, seems nothing escapes you
Nothin', no reason, no rhyme
That's 'cause everyone here is just more than contented
To be livin' and dyin' in three-quarter time

And it's dance with me, dance with me, Nautical Wheelers
Take me to stars that you know
Come on and dance with me, dance with me, Nautical Wheelers
I want so badly to go
I want so badly to go
Yes, I want so badly to go

Design problems

I can't get the layout back to its original glory... until I have the inspiration to make my own, I'll use this theme.

Right, I'm making this many posts first day back so I can, up, stuff.


Titles I'm not good at... look at "Of Biting Rodents and Fruitcakes", mmkay? Sing "Fruitcakes"; the title will make a little sense. (But not much.)

Excessively verbose

Okay, peoples. I don't yet know how much I'll post here or what I'll post here, but for y'all in KnittyLand here's a summary....


This blog was originally made in April of '02. I posted in it regularly for about three months; then I got out of the habit and abandoned it. Today I recovered my password... but alas, in re-registering this, the remnants of my old blog were deleted. Big loss. Now y'all will never know that on July 18 2002, a crab bit me.


Under reconstruction - stay tuned!
Am I back?
