Recently, I went to Cricket Cove looking for “soft, cat-coloured yarn” because I want to knit a kitty. (Actual knitting = garter stitch. Stuffing and seaming = bleh.) I decided on some Louisa Harding Kimono Angora for what I hope will be a calico cat kind of look.

When I will find the time to knit a kitty is anybody’s guess. After a few months without any job at all, I got offered two different part time jobs within the space of an hour. I didn’t know at the time if I would be able to accept both of them, but it turned out that I could. Going from no jobs to two jobs takes some getting used to, schedule-wise. I’ve made some further progress on my Live Simply cross stitch, but I don’t have a recent picture of it. I’ll take one soon.

Right now I’m reading up on crochet so I can make the straps for those baby booties that I knit. This ought to be interesting.

Hey, Ria, you know that hamster that you mentioned who is knitting with crochet hooks? He (or she) is also pictured on the back of Charmed Knits: Projects for Fans of Harry Potter by Alison Hansel. That pic is smaller, though, so it’s not as easy to tell that he’s using crochet hooks.
