Dear Friends,
Today has been a lovely day, we all went shopping for some winter clothes this morning and I have been working on a sweater vest for Kye. I am knitting it in a baby blue merino single ply handspun, spun by community spinners in Cape Town and I am really loving the colour varigation. I have decided to knit this vest in the round, all at once, and the when I reach the armhole I will make the decreases in the front and put the back stitches on a stitch holder and go from there. This is my first attempt at this so wish me luck!
An now for the sleeping positions of Charlie...
This sweety belongs to Erin, he is one year old, huge and always manages to find comfort wherever he might be...

Thanks, I'm looking forward to our swap! ^-^
ReplyDeleteBeautiful knitting! Hope your Kye is all better now!
ReplyDeleteCharlie is hysterical. We had an orange and white cat named Ovi and he would sleep the same way. So cute.
ReplyDeleteHeidi made me laugh. I'd never heard that before. That cat - they are like Slinkeys or —I don't know. Is there really anything in the world you can compare to cat-ness?
ReplyDeleteSomeday I am going to post a picture of our giant orange cat just for you :)
ReplyDeleteAhhh I love Charlie! Can he come visit us? I don't think 3 cats is enough for us :)
ReplyDeleteI love the blue you are using for the vest. I know you'll do great with the armhole.

Oh, I think I love Charlie! What a cute cat. :) That's a beautiful color of wool you're using for the sweater vest.
ReplyDeleteDear Renee,
ReplyDeleteI would love to see a photo of your giant orange cat:) Thanks so much for joining our swap:)

Oh, I just love your Charlie! He is so handsome, and it's cute the way he's reclining in that chair. He looks like an orange version of my Charlie.
ReplyDeleteOoooooh that Merino hand spun wool looks so soft and snuggly! I can't wait to see the final result. I've just started to feel confident knitting in the round, so may copy you at some stage in the near future! The swap sounds great - I'm off to look into it now and join:)
ReplyDeleteHope you have a beautiful and joy filled easter xxx
By the way, your cat looks to be in absolute HEAVEN!
