From Rain to Hope

I do like to knit, especially scarves.  I’ve really been on a scarf knitting kick the last couple of weeks.  Maybe I’m just getting ready for Paris.  I hear scarves are big over there.  It seems I’ll be well stocked for the trip.  Two more scarves have been completed.  Loops was nice enough to take pictures of them.  Sadly, I cannot be serious when he takes my picture.  I always pull goofy faces.

I'm not sure what this look says.

I almost have a normal expression.

This yarn is soft, squishy, and a great color.

I luff this scarf!!!

Speaking of yummy yarns, the yarn used for the following scarf is super soft.  It is a mix of angora and merino wool.  I just wish I would’ve gotten it in a different color.  I’m just not into Bone right now.  I might have to give this one away.  I don’t know.

I just don't think bone is my color.

As we “speak”, I’m knitting another of these ruffled scarf out of the yummy Malabrigo in a lovely bright blue.

For now, au revoir.

I haven’t had a lot of time on my hands the past week because of the move to our new house, but I’ve managed to complete two knits.  A cowl that needs to be blocked before you can even tell anything about it.  See:

Unblocked Destroyed Cowl

Also, I finally finished my socks, but only got a picture with my phone.  They’re great though and will hopefully get a lot of wear in cooler weather.

New socks and one of my favorite pairs of shoes!

We’re getting settled into the house.  Still lots of unpacking to do and I doubt I’ll get it all done before the trip, but that’s ok.  As for the cats, they’ve adjusted well.  If you need photographic proof.  I have plenty.

Luna and Dottie settled in.

Bob, sunning his belly.

Dottie still lounged out in the window.

Moxie, always the little lady, refused to be photographed in such a casual fashion.  She opted for a more classic portrait.

Super pretty eyes, a bit annoyed though.

Sadly, the new house has not cured bad kitty behavior.  They’ve all been getting into a bit of trouble.  Dottie was the only one shameless enough to get her picture taken though.

Why yes, those are glass blocks in my kitchen.
