Litterbox

 

We are still here.

Terri: Trying to be relatively regular.

 

Libby: Busy getting ready for Forest and such - had a couple nice weekends at home

 

PAWS

Terri: 

Aimee Cardigan- Joji Locatelli (ravelry)All of my partial skeins of Malabrigo Arroyo…well most of them will be popped into this. I hit gaubodyge exactly on my swatch. Doing as a tiny KAL with some people in a group for flannelandpurls. I have bound off the body and started a sleeve which was interesting due to my color decisions. 

DRK Everyday cardigan- using Fiber company Lore in the colorway Healer. I’m a bit further than I thought, though I didn’t work on this. I’m about 5 inches in. 

My Favorite Vanilla Socks-MCN dyed by a friend of mine over a decade ago in a colorway called Prep School-2010….I added this to my stash. In October 2010. Let’s talk about 2010. ALMOST 15 years ago. Anyways, I turned the heel and am about an inch into the foot. 

 

Obama was President. The Walking Dead, Sherlock, and Downton Abbey debuted, Matt Smith debuted as The Doctor, Eclipse was in the theater. 

 

  Instagram was a baby, literally… It was born in 2010 

 

Weekend Cami-Aimee Sherr Cast on in The Wandering Flock Cotton Lino- in the color petal. 35% Organic Cotton, 30% Mulberry Silk, 20% Linen, 15% Alpaca. What a dream to knit with. I want all my summery shirts in this yarn if at all possible. The pattern is alright…it is well written so far, but definitely a different writing style than I’m used to. So, getting used to it has been fun. I should print the pattern out, it’s not my favorite to peruse on my phone. 

Libby:

Colorblock Bag - stashed 

 

Wizard Hat by Morale Fiber - stashed

 

Crochet bucket hat - haven’t started yet 

 

Golden rod wrap top - Knitpicks Galileo in Meteor, on the front panel approx. 2 rows done on both left and right sides

 

Annie Bucket Hat - I got some yarn for free - 3 skeins of Lions Brand “go for Faux” in the color Mink (pastel pink and charcoal). Getting the actual hat started took a couple of tries due to the magic circle and the type of yarn. Very hard to see the stitches ( you can’t) but I’ve been just feeling for them and adding stitch markers every stitch the first round and every other stitch the second round. Had to order new hooks again after I did the swatch with the only hook I had close as it wasn’t close enough haha

FO PAWS

Terri-

Cold Hearts Hat -Ravelry link. I cast this on and finished this between podcasts sort of. I touched on this last time. Used all handspun. Row gague was a tiny bit off but I just shortened the crown a bit. Needs some blocking, but looks great! The colorwork was yarn I spun from a bat I made of mixed wools, corriedale, sari silk, etc. The main color was spun from a bat from Leaf Livestock. 

Libby: none ya girl has not had time for finishing projects

From Fluff to Stuff- 

I have spun up MOST of my Mellyknits guts and they have been quite lovely. One was Alpaca/north country cheviot and the other is a clun florest/silk. I have one more That is Observatory Hills corriedale (I LOVE their Corriedale) and some yak to card up yet.

 

I acquired fleeces when we went to Shepherd’s Harvest over Mother’s Day weekend

Ooh Shiny! 

 

Terri- 

The Human Hat -Ravelry Link- WIll be casting this one when the yarn arrives. Needed a couple colors. Gonna cast on now that I got my minis.

 

Still pining for some cotton/linen/wool blend yarns. Looking at trying Undine DK from Ritual Dyes, Sandnes Garn Line, and Linen Quill from Purl Soho for some projects. I 

Libby: Tried to start a dino and it was tough with the pattern as there is no hook size so I need to play around with them.

 

SURPRISE OOH SHINY

 

Leisure Suit-

 

Terri- Finished Andor, want to watch it again. It was SO GOOD. SO GOOD. 

 

Watched MOBLAND, in like 3 sittings. Definite binge watch. Tom Hardy, Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan Joanne Frogatt (downton abbey:Anna)

 

Libby: 

I’m watching MadMen - on season 3 - haven’t watched much since I got back but slowly working my way through. I think I’m on mid season now

 

Almost finished with our yearly TPB rewatch - on season 10

Jersey shore rewatch on season 5 now

 

We rewatched Andor s1 so we can go into season 2 remembering everything - we will probably need to start after EF

 

Rewatching Naruto! We are on season 4 or 5 of the original series I think - the part where Tsunade is told she has been chosen as Hokage

 

Catnip- 

Terri-My garden! It’s coming together and we’ve expanded. It’s definitely looking pretty lovely. I continue to try and rid ourselves of the lawn. 

 

Libby: Couple weekends at home have been nice - we went to a show the weekend I worked. First june weekend all our friends were gone so we went to a car show Saturday on State Street - stopped by a vintage store and Cane’s. Sunday I pretty much hung out at home playing sims. Last weekend we helped a friend move so that wasn’t super relaxing but we also went to a bonfire - I stayed inside watching Love Island with my girl Jess

 

The Fluff- 

Terri-Nothing too exciting here. Cats are doing well. 

 

Libby- Penny had some major tummy troubles about a week after we got back and had to go to the vet - they couldn’t find anything but she had a small course of treatment and is doing MUCH better now and is mostly back to normal. They did let us know they thought we should do some bloodwork on her just to be sure it’s not an underlying condition causing the issue so we will be doing that once we get back
