Photo post: cats and knitting
May. 10th, 2009 03:49 pmFirst, I know that everyone is most interested in the kittens so that's where we'll start. There are a bunch of new cat pictures up.

The rest of the photos can be found in their Year One photo set, the final 17 are new: http://www.flickr.com/photos/archerygirl/sets/72157608892339390/
Next up is some knitting pictures - I've actually taken photos of a couple of recent projects!

This little hat is for a colleague at work and I made it yesterday afternoon. His wife is due in two weeks so we're throwing a shower this week and I couldn't let that happen without a handknit. It's superwash wool and surprisingly soft. I'm so pleased with it - the pattern is called Blueberry Hat. Awww.

These are my Crazy Blue Monkey socks. The yarn is Estelle Araquipa, a wool/alpaca/nylon blend, and I adore both the yarn and the pattern. They look amazing and fit the best of all the socks that I've so far made. The one mod I'll make the next time I do this pattern is to sub the reinforced heel from New Pathways for Sock Knitters because it's a better shape.
All the pictures of the socks and hat can be found here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/archerygirl/tags/knitting2009/
And now I need to do some fic editing before sending stuff to beta.
Is it too soon to be considering a return trip to see Star Trek again?

Um, no. I'm going back for seconds this week and I'm plotting London + IMAX next week.

I've got a bank holiday on Monday. I really shouldn't be thinking matinee thoughts for the bank holiday....
