9 Lives

My sister and I are fairly convinced our childhood cat that passed away about 3 years ago has come back:



My sister started working at the U. in the On-Campus Housing office about a month ago, and one of the maintenance workers found this little guy and his sister. They've been keeping an eye on them over in their office, and my sister is HOOKED. The weird thing is he looks EXACTLY like our old cat, Frisky. Not just the coloring, but very similar markings as well. Unfortunately the old "MOM! We found this cute little _____, can we keep him?!?" line doesn't really work when you are 26 and live at home. So Frisky-Redux has been living on her desk. If I didn't seriously think Matt would make me starting sleeping in the spare room, I'd bring him home.

In other news, my husband is about to enter 2 weeks of testosterone-fueled sports mania:



Personally, I like the Celtics because Larry Bird was the shiznit. However, if I say that out loud in the next few days I may still be sleeping in the spare room. Hell, I should just bring the kitten home and knit a Celtics jersey for it. If I'm going out, I'm going out big.

Finished baby cardi tomorrow.

First off, regarding the Ballet Bashing, I pretty much know what I need to do but I am being whiny about it. The increases and decreases I did on the front are what the problem are, so I need to rip them out and re-do them with cast-off/cast on so it's cleaner when I do the single crochet. Someday, but for now:



The work continues on the baby cardi for my husbands friends.



Loving on the macro feature. Yummy, yummy Blue Sky Organic Cotton.

I also found some new yarn that looked interesting at Joann's yesterday: NaturallyCaron.Com Spa, an acrylic-bamboo blend.



I bought 8 balls for 35$. It's also more of a grey (or gray? I can never remember) color than these photos represent.



It's super-soft and has a cabled texture to it. I'm thinking maybe BPT Cardigan or the Central Park Hoodie. I'm too lazy to link those but a quick Google search should suffice.

Finally, I only took like three photos from our SF trip this weekend, and one this is one of them:



Way to go Delia, take a photo of the scoreboard when your team is getting their as*es handed to them (it's 4-NADA if you can't see it in the photo).

Peace out and Happy Hump Day!
