Whiskers On Wednesday
All the running around and exercising I've been doing caught up with me today. I'm plum tuckered out.

Life's too short.
Sasha says: "Hurry Up With My Blankee pleazze!"
Meow.
About the socks: I agree with you Jeanne, I seem to recall a few washes not really helping the other "solo" sock I have in this yarn or else I would have a pair and I know I don't. I have some really nice stuff in my closet and I just bought more, there's no reason to twitter over making another scratchy sock! I'll use the rest of the yarn for cat toys or something (anybody want it?). I think I still have a couple more skeins of this stuff that I should put up on Rav to trade or sell. There's an Opal Group there that has over 450 members so somebody should want it!!! I can't understand their luv, 
but we all have our own opinions on things and I respect their choice to appreciate it in a way I can't.
but we all have our own opinions on things and I respect their choice to appreciate it in a way I can't. I've been trying to start a beret for my sister in law but keep doing other things instead. I guess it's because it calls for a "tubular cast-on" and I don't really want to do it (cause I don't know how). Lately I've had the "fuzzy mind" issue going on, it's too much to think about no matter how easy it is. I guess I should at least watch the video again...maybe it'll just "click" all of a sudden.
Sophie says: "Cool! I'm camo'd from that child who always holds me captive!" Poor Kitty. She gets TOO much love sometimes.
Meow.

I like to knit...I like to knit...
First, proof of my massive indecisiveness lately. Hmmmm, which to choose.... I've literally been winding skeins almost every other day rather than getting any knitting done.
Eureka! I have it!! Well.... I HAD it.... (my scarf is buried in that bunch up there, whole other story...)
I was so excited to start the Broadripple Pattern for my Mom for Mother's Day after all the indecision lately. I found some other Cascade Fixation in my stash (which is NONE of the above!) Pink Yarn makes me happier than I can imagine so I was jazzed. Yea Baby!
Well, that was until I cast on the "first" time following the pattern with a 56 st cast on. Boy, did that seem "huge". (My Mom has small feet and little ankles). So, I decided to frog and redo it with size 2 DPN's needles instead of 3's. Okay, slightly better on my second go, but still a little bigger than what looks right to me. I figured "I'll see where this goes" so I re-cast on for try #3 with my magic loop needle instead. Working with the size 2 DPN's was not as comfortable as the 3's, things are definitely tighter for sure. (How anyone knits with Cascade Fixation on 0's or 1's is beyond me, they must have strong fingers.) I also decided against doing so many of the Garter Ripple sts at the beginning of the pattern which may or may not have been another cast on try, I've simply lost track by now.
Looking Good: Side one of my needle
Now side TWO. Ah, uh-oh. Drats. Cast on # zillion and one coming up.
