rude awakening

I crawled into bed for a little snooze yesterday afternoon. Ricky jumped on the bed and scratched at the quilt until I lifted up the edge so that he could crawl under. He settled around my legs and both of us snoozed. At some point, I rolled on top of him and he didn't like it so he bit me on my bare calf with his big teeth. OUCH! He was rapidly ejected from the bed. The little bugger...


My long awaited linen finally arrived. Sadly, it's not DK like I had originally ordered but that's ok. I've got a lot of it so I can make several projects or even knit with 2 strands to simulate DK. I am borrowing a Dorothy Leclerc 4 harness table loom to try weaving some of it.

I walked up to the post office this afternoon to pick up another parcel. I traded several of my sock knitting bags for sock yarn. Aren't they pretty?

There was another parcel but it was adressed to hubby. It might be part of my birthday present. I gave it a good shake and it feels like a book. Hubby said it was a quilting book that he's been looking for. He's such a smart ass.

My sooper seekrit knitting project is almost finished. I have just a little bit left to knit and then it's onto the finishing. I'm sooo excited.
