Pictures

I finally took a picture of my cat in her felted cat bed. She really likes it, as you can see. I used recycled yarn for the wool part, and it was quite slow to felt, but turned out ok in the end. I like using old sweater yarn for felting, but you never can be sure if it will felt well.

Last night I finished the baby sweater, It only took two balls of Marks and Kattens Dream, and less than two days of knitting.

Yesterday The Fleece Artist kid mohair I had ordered came in. It is so beautiful.I am making the London Calling sweater from Stitch and Bitch Nation, only it will be all pink. Fleece Artist is now selling solid colours that co-ordinate with her varigated yarns. They are amazing, and so much easier to use in clothes that I will actually wear.

I have knit about four inches so far and it looks to be the correct gauge and size. I tend to make things too big for me, and this time I am hopeing to do better. There are only two sixes, and I have a 35 in. bust, so sm/med should be right.
