(no subject)
The beads that I ordered for the Sylvanus’s Woodland shawl arrived yesterday. Perfect timing because last night I finished the sixth repeat of the willow leaves. Now I have to figure out where I want to put them and then knit them in.
Another cold rainy day here. ARGH! It is one of those days that calls for curling up in a quilt with a book and then falling asleep.
As I was knitting last night Kali decided that the place to cuddle up was in the middle of the shawl. This, of course, stopped all knitting for a bit since she wanted a good long scratch and cuddle.
The coffee is gone and I need to attack the kitchen floor with a mop. Have a wonderful day.
