Photo post: cats and knitting

[selenay]

First, 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?

I was considering it and I never do that.

I did it for Return of the King, but never anything else. So this is quite strange :-)

Awww, the kitties are adorable! Look at those tails! :)

I love those socks. :)

Annie's tail is spectacular :-)

Thanks - the socks are so lovely to wear :-)

I adore the design created on those socks. It's beautiful. :) I can crotchet, but I wish I could knit. I'm all thumbs. *g*

The pattern came out really well and it was easy enough to memorise that I had it down by the time I got to the leg on the first sock. I'm definitely making it again!

I need to learn to crochet. There are some patterns out there that are mostly knitting but have crochet edging and I'd love to have a go at them.

Annie is the fluffiest sweetheart in the world. :-D Kate = total sneak. :-D

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

Annie looks cute and fluffy, but she's actually my bad cat. She just does everything with this "but Mummy, I adooooore you" look. Kate looks sneaky and mischevious all the time, even when she's innocent!

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....
