in which I write about stuff
I realized as I was puttering around in the side yard this weekend (between downpours) that I really ought to start keeping track of when things happen in the garden. So hopefully this will be a weekly thing. Trimmed dead blooms from candytuft Mowed paths through the garden Lilac in full bloom (fading slightly) Poplar […]
I really want to write something about how therapy has directly affected what I do for work. This is the very raw notes.
Sex, lies, and Wolverine.
I started out thinking about doing a cowl that was all yo/k2tog, but didn’t like the feel of it, then did a round of k1/sl1, but had trouble keeping track of it. So now it’s just a semi-random pattern of knit rounds and purl rounds, something to keep my hands busy in meetings.

FWIW, I knitted 3 rows of the pattern wrong (reading the chart left to right instead of right to left), then picked back 2 rounds.
Kinda mangled the beginning of the decreases, because I was working on it during a divisional retreat. (NTS: don’t do that!) But got it back in pattern pretty quickly, and am overall quite pleased. Seems a bit small, hoping it’ll grow with wear and/or blocking. Almost precisely the right amount of yarn for the pattern, too!
Like the pattern quite a bit, would like to try making it again.
3/15 – finished body, this time added face before finishing.
3/17 – cast on tail
3/18 – finished tail
3/22 – made arms, feet & comb. assembled & finished. (knit arms, feet, and comb with #5 needles.)
Four cats. Four methodologies.
