On the knitting front, I finished Bill's set of Maine Morning Mitts (see previous post) and they have apparently passed inspection from Seamus....yes he is sucking on Bill's thumb....verrrry long story, but it boils down to "of course he sucks our thumbs, it's not like he has any of his own". Poor boy was a rescue who lost his mom way too early. He's one of the nicest cats I've ever shared a home with.
He did not however appreciate the flash. Here's what happened next.
Other good things today - I got all the fall bulbs in the ground. Next June I will have about 25 giant purple alliums blooming across the front of my house. And a patch of purple tulips & 2 patches of fabulous daffs in the back yard.
All finished just before the skies clouded up & the temp dropped.
Now I can get back to knitting on my swap partner's mobius cowl & the eternal baby blanket. Let's face it I had to make those red mitts immediately - the man was living in the home of a knitter & saying he had cold hands. We cannot have that now can we. I'll cast on a matching hat for him that I can knit on in line for voting Tuesday - the eternal blankie is too big & the mobius requires a certain level of attention not permitted while standing possibly in the dark waiting for the line to move. Those mitts really are a satisfying little project - I started them yesterday afternoon & finished the second one this morning.
