Friday Felines Vol 30 2014

I had this dish pan on the breakfast bar, teetering on a pile of mail, while I organized some things.  Willow investigated, knocked it off the breakfast bar - almost killing herself in the process - then acted like nothing happened - as cats do.  After a few moments, she went over like this was something new - oh, who put this here??


Then she promptly claimed it as her own.  Nikoh came over to investigate the new find.


He, of course, had to wait until she was done with it (an hour or so later) ...


And Riley is nowhere to be found, usually its these two goobers causing all the trouble.

Spindles Anonymous?!?!


I've become obsessed with support spindles as of late.  And each new one becomes my favorite.  Pretty sure I have an addiction going on here ...

A WIP!


This is Ravello by Isabell Kraemer.  I love all her sweater patterns, there's just something about them.  I'm knitting this out of Knit Picks Stroll in my favorite color Pearlescent and a weird skein of coal that acquired when they were discontinuing their kettle dyed.  This black is half kettle dyed and half so saturated with dye it left a black line on my hand whenever I knit with it.  Its hard to see in a photo (its much more obvious in person), but if you look closely:

  

The stripes are in some left over Malabrigo sock in Turner, I had just enough to knit all the stripes.  I split the remainder in half for the sleeves so I still  have a tiny ball for the other sleeve.  

I started this last October then once I got past the raglan and onto the black ... fingering weight ... stockinette ... FOREVER ... I only did a few rounds here and there ... BORING! At this point the first sleeve is past the decreases and I'm working my way to the cuff.  Then wash, rinse, repeat for the other one and I'll have another sweater!

We say he's an old man yelling "Get off my lawn!" when he sits like this at the window ...

Willow

Napping in the window seat.  Wondering why there's a camera in her face ...
