Here’s Carmen, looking very innocent, but seriously thinking about walking all over my blocking Lacy Kerchief Scarf (IK Knits, 2006 Holiday Issue) and making little cat paw dents. Really, this is about the only way she bothers my knitting – not much of a knitter, that cat. She doesn’t really bother yarn, or WIPs, but lay something down to block and she’s all up in your business.
The scarf is finished, and I love it. I’ve always loved this pattern. I’m not sure why, but I’ve just always known I would make it some day. Tomorrow we’ll get you some properly modeled shots, with my new haircut :o)
What’s next? The Cobblestone Pullover, for me (of course!) I’m using this luscious grey-green Berroco Ultra Alpaca (6291, Yucca Mix). Mmmm. And, really, isn’t there just a simple beauty in a perfectly wound cake of yarn?
Layla, on the other hand, she’s all about the knitting. She loves the yarn, she loves the needles, the loves the WIPs, she loves the FOs…. we’re constantly saving various forms of knitting from her tiny little puppy teeth. Oh yeah, she’s quite sure she can knit. She’s quite sure she can do ANYTHING! She ‘s not a delicate girly-girly…. um, no. She’s a yarn stealing, bug-eating tomboy. But she sure is fun, and CUTE! (insert another gratuitous puppy foto)
Layla and Jazz have a lot in common – yarn chewing, bug eating and cuteness being the top three. ;o)
Love the scarf!
I’ve always wanted to knit that scarf as well. I can’t wait to see it modeled!
Ooh, I just LOVE the puppy pics, keep ’em coming!
Layla looks so cute! She’s a “big” dog in a small package, huh?
That’s one cute knitter!!
The puppy is just adorable! And I wish my pets knit, I might actually get something finished.
What IS it with cats and freshly blocked knitting? I also got a big chuckle out of your non-girly girl in her fluffy pink bed.
Ooo, a Cobblestone! I just finished RM’s. I’m just waiting for the weekend to get some goods pics.
I’d have to say that Carmen is seriously imagining a snooze on your gorgeous scarf.
Your scarf looks terrific and I can’t wait to see your haircut!
the scarf is gorgeous and the foto with the cat just too cute!!!!!!
