WoW #2 (Whiskers on Wednesday)

Cold weather makes for VERY friendly cats.As far as the knitting goes...there was great progress being made on the Soho Wrap until Frank decided he needed to be in my lap. My hand is stuck underneath him as well. He really didn't see the problem with this. In his mind, the only purpose for my existence is to provide for his every need and meet his every whim. Whipped cream only leaves the refrigerator to be served to him. He can hear the can shaking from the other side of the house.

As far as the Soho goes, I WAS involved in a knit-a-long with several Sisters of the Wool, but I think everyone else has temporarily left the project for other things. It is simple, but there are a few issues with the pattern. The designer has been following our KAL on Ravelry, and to the best of my knowledge is updating the pattern with the hiccups we find along the way. It has been especially nice to work on it over the past two days with our frigid weather, because it is now big enough that it covers my lap (hence the Frank problem).

Happy as a Clam!

Finally finished this little guy. Now where's the linguine & olive oil? Kidding! Just the eyes, stuffing, and a whole lot of finishing work (for such a little guy), but he is just so huggable! Tonight I'll try to finish the turkey in between sections of the Soho wrap.

Had the most delightfully dreary Monday today. Fire in the fireplace & hot chocolate & knitting while cold & rainy outside kind of delightful. Started off the day with family/friends over for breakfast (ohhh those yummy banana oatmeal waffles!). My oldest niece and a friend are headed off to a semester in Prague. Yup, jealous. One day I will see more of Europe than the inside of an airport. One day. In the meantime... I refilled the suet/peanut nugget feeder, much to the delight of the red-bellied woodpeckers, wrens, and warblers. Will have to try to capture a shot at rush hour out here. In addition to the previously mentioned birds, it usually involves over a dozen mourning doves, half-a-dozen cardinals, downy woodpeckers, goldfinches, house finches, juncos, chickadees, tufted titmice, blue jays, and a couple of phoebes by the pool. The Cooper's Hawk comes through every so often to make sure everyone is on their toes.
