This year Yarn Crawl weekend was also St. Patrick's Day weekend! I think it was Thursday-Sunday. Oh my! I didn't crawl until Saturday, and even then I only went to 2 shops. My goal was to go to 2 new shops and not to buy a lot. I did both, yay me.
I went to a lovely shop in Winchester where I got 2 skeins of Malabrigo Rios, for a lovely scarf for myself, as well as 4 skeins of some Alpaca yarn for my friend G's scarf and I mean want him to be warm in the winter, and the yarn was 20%off...and so soft and squishy, I had no choice really, I'm sure you understand.
The only issue with super soft alpaca yarn is that it can't be tossed into the wash, which is fine, I will take care of laundering it for him.
I also went to a shop in Melrose, which was nice as well, kinda close to closing time, so I'll have to go back to get a real feel of the store. There I got 2 skeins of blue cascade superwash 220 sport. Gonna knit my little monkey butt an owls vest.
And that my friend is all she wrote, because she, meaning me, is tired. :D

Remember me?
I use to post here...HI!
I haven't been knitting. At all. I've been a lazy lump on the couch or working on the secret project which techinically is done, I just have to redo 1 tiny thing.
So, that, my friends is what has been sucking up my knitting time.

Mwah-ha-ha
It's SNOWING!
my excitement could ravel the little kid whose "too excited to sleep" in the Disney commercials.
I LOVE SNOW!
My secret project has taken over my life. I am hoping to be done with it either tonight or Friday, and when it is done, I will show ya'll a picture of it!
Sadly there has been NO KNITTING. I don't know how I feel about it. It's been making me want to play in Yarnia and organize it a bit. Maybe this weekend.

A Tribute to Felix
This is felix the kitty. He was my now ex-boyfriends cat and friend, the way pets are for years before I met him. Felix was a handsome little guy. So sweet and mellow, I think I nicknamed him "the Dude". He was always down to cuddle and snuggle. Sadly, we had to put sweet Felix down on August 18th, 2008.
If I was cooking, Felix was underfoot with me in the kitchen or on one of the chairs. Usually if he was on the chair I'd go over and give him little head kisses, which were always met with purrs and head butts. We had Felix creamated and placed in a black urn, with a silver band around the top. Being that Felix was always in the kitchen with me, I asked if we could put him in the kitchen. He was placed on the partition above the stove, watching over the dinners I cooked and keeping me company in the kitchen the way he always did.
When I moved in my kitties met Felix for the first time. Lila was not pleased and she was not afraid to let him know it. Lila for the most part hung out in the back bedroom, she's weird, but when she was hungry she would come out, run up on Felix, hiss and swat at him and run away. Felix just sat there with a 'really?' face. (ya'll know the face) Sirius and Felix were indifferent to each other, both willing to share my lap, one on my lap the other on my legs. Close, but not too close. Every so often they'd be napping on the rectangular coffee table each head and body facing a different corner butts together. V <--kinda like that.
We had 1 A/C, in the living room, and 2 couches. His and hers if you will. I remember one day, in July, I think, where I was awoken to Felix laying on my chest trying to eat my hair. I later learned what he was actually was grooming me.
Felix has been on my mind allot lately. I'm not sure what that means, if anything, or the reason for it, if there is one. But he has been and I wanted to honor it and him with a little post.
and now i am sitting here, crying, missing a kitty i only knew for a short period of time.

Believe in those you love
or at least that's what my Dove chocolate wrapper said.
I've been feeling funky lately, I think it may be the stress of the party, which thankfully will be done this weekend.
My super secret cross stitch pattern has been coming along swimmingly.
I finished my fisherman friend's hat and, this is the best part, IT FIT! I swear I heard a chorus of angels singing when he put it on and it covered his ears.
