Ravelry stuff came/ Fetching




These came yesterday . They were ordered this summer before my new tight budget.



Buttons and t- shirt from Ravelry. I ordered an x -large for the T-shirt which now looks like a very good idea. The shirt looks small and it is not preshrunk cotton. I may give it to my sister for Christmas or save it for my knitting cruise.





I am still working on the sweater. Now -I am at left front panel and then on to sleeves. It may be a week or so to get this done.Can't get distracted with any other projects !!! But, Fetching is calling me .http://knitty.com/ISSUEsummer06/PATTfetching.html .

CactusNeedles has done a beautiful pair http://cactusneedlles.blogspot.com/2007/09/some-instant-gratification.html These instant kntting gratification projects are for me..

photos of Kalamazoo/Stinky

Stinky, who was abandoned on our road this summer was originally going to be a garage kitty. Then I convinced Boy he would be a basement kitty. Eventually- Stinky moved upstairs but still went outside during the day. But last week the Boy saw him on the main road down from our house plus a neighbor told him that she almost ran him over. Stinky is now officially an upstairs and indoor kitty. The Boy loves Stinky as much as I do!
Now the problem is that he has been used to running, playing and hunting outside. That helped use up that kitten energy. As a result of being inside my furniture and legs are getting a few marks when he gets in one of his full of it moods. The pugs are cautious walking around corners as he may be ready to pounce on them. He has several toys to keep him entertained . This one is a scratch pad that has catnip you sprinkle over. Stinky fell in love with the catnip. He did not use it to scratch but rather to sleep on and to rub his body.

now knitting stuff....

Here it is with no button. The color is off.
Dark photo but the color is more like this..



with button color should be darker...




These photos are not very good. It looks better in real life..But- not sure if I like the fit yet.
The shoulders seem funny where it is almost hanging off the edge of them. Then the front has excess material that hangs . If only I had a chest it would bring it up.


so I will have D try it on to see if she likes it.


%#@!&* So much $ and time (:


The Karabella Superwash Merino Loose Jacket sweater has the back and one front done. I pray this one is not too small
