Family Matters

Well, the Rowing Cat has taken up spinning! And look how well she is doing! It took me weeks of practice to get this far. And this was about 20 minutes after starting . . . She's using some roving sent by my Secret Pal! She has learned how to predraft and the park and spin method. This weekend she's going to try standing up and letting the spindle go - I'm in trouble when that wheel shows up!




Here are my completed Socks That Rock socks! Boy are they comfortable and the yarn is really dreamy to knit with - it's very "springy" and it bounces back on itself. I will definitely invest in some more.

This is the beginning of my bag for the International Tote Exchange (see the side button). I picked up some Patons Classic wool in purple, turqouise and pink. My pal likes tropical colors and boy are these bright! The bag is destined to be felted, so I'll have pictures of before and after that process. I think I go use my Mom's top loader for this. The front loader does seem to work, just not that fast.


I've completed the heel and am onto the leg on my test knit sock for MezzoDiva! The pattern is lovely and I think it's turning out wonderfully with the Trekking yarn. I'll post some pictures tomorrow.

And I want to say HELLO to Ellen! She's moving to Saratoga in a few weeks from California, so there's another knitter coming to town!
