Cat by firelight and finishing things
Hipstamatic is fun.
So, I'm working on finishing the black pullover. God, it's A pain in the a$$, but the fabric is so nice and there's almost something really satisfying about working something so fine in gauge. And it's almost the time of year to wear it.
I'm also nearly done with brown; think jury is out until I can try it on, but it feels nice.
Finally Kauni. I want to rip it out and redo it. The gauge is a hair off and I'm not happy with it. What about doing a sleeve to sleeve using simple fair isle patterns?

Been awhile again
Sorry. Went to lunch today - husbands birthday - and the place we ate had these;
Yes, gold wolves. Odd, but cool. I also thought the ceiling was cool;
Something else nice is Summer Storm - coming along nice and fast despite my being kind of a moron and having a really hard time with the pattern - binding off when I'm supposed to cast on, being thwarted by short rows (which I did finally figure out) - brings to mind a recent conversation about what kind knitter are you, do you read patterns all the way through before you start or not? Me? Not. By rights I should have finished this puppy days ago but for all the ripping out;
I think I should call this one UPS (what can brown do for you).
Oh, and I put nail guards on Indy - I was being festive but the little one thinks I'm being mean to the cat. Look at his feet;

One witchy sock done
Started on the second one today (I still like the color pooling on these, feet a bit less than the leg, but what can you expect with the gusset decreases):
Yes, Indy has recovered from the window install - he acted extra skittish all day. Then we watched Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf and we were skittish. Yikes.
Here's a better color snap of these socks.

When color pooling doesn't suck
When color pooling doesn't suck
Happy accident of needle size, gauge and pattern. Probably dye lot as well.
