Making Monday : The Transatlantic Edition

20111024-221721.jpg

Jeanne suggested a trip to a great yarn store as I mentioned I still had a fair bit of space in my suitcase. I bought a pattern and some yarn for a Highland Fling shawlette substituting the recommended yarn with Alpaca Sox. As you can see my first attempts as making bobbles were a little flat so I’ve now frogged and reknitted the whole thing.

I did also do a little knitting whilst in the US but not much. I’m going to have to finish unpacking before I can show them. I could have done that at Jeanne’s but as little Bette was partial to stealing socks it is safer to do it here. :-) I knew I was feeling better when I was up for knitting again.

Tamyra is slightly less frosty today once she was introduced to mice from Chris and sparkle balls from Jeanne and the Friskies Party Mix we brought them back.

    I wanted to make sure that your stuff didn’t rattle around in your suitcase.

    Tamyra should wait until Pao’s deeply asleep and then she should gently bat him awake to let him know all is forgiven.

    Or not.

    I’m glad you’re safely home! That’s not what’s meant by an adventurous trip, y’know. Next time you’ll have to come to CA first. :)

    I’m glad the mice helped ease your return!

    Bribery will get you everywhere! That’s such pretty knitting, I hope your bobbles are bigger now! (Not a thing I ever imagined I would be saying)
