lift-off

After what seems like weeks of dense fog, the sun is shining and I've taken the opportunity to whip out my camera and take a bunch of much needed pictures.

I finished the first sample sock for BSY.


DiC Smooshy blocks extremely well and it's super soft too. Mmmmm... I love Smooshy.

I've finished the first ski sock and started on the second one.


Sportweight socks knit up soooo fast! I had originally cast on with some Mirasol Chirapa but it seems a little thinner than sport. I didn't like the fabric on 2.75mm needles and I didn't want to switch to smaller needles because I wanted thick socks for skiing. I might buy the thicker version of Chirapa - Hacho and give that a try.

Phoebe found a nice patch of sunshine to lie in.


Look at her crazy toe fur!


Ricky is snoozing under a blanket. After going to the vet twice this week, he's keeping a low profile. The poor dude is sick so he had to go in to have his blood taken and then they wanted a urine sample (waiting for a cat to pee is like watching water evaporate). The vet should be calling me today with the results and I'm hoping Ricky'll be ok.
