Finally, the long awaited knitting update

Yes this is primarily a food blog, but my disclaimer above does also mention knitting, gardening, brewing, etc. So, now for a knitting update. I will just show you in photos. I am not that great of a knitter, but I do enjoy creating something that people can wear with my hands and it is great for couch time with movies, bar time and airplanes. I have been working on this scarf for a friends birthday for a long time, a really long time (one year and 2 months). In fact the first yarn I bought (mohair, that says it all) I started the project with it 5 times and frogged it (ripped it) apart each time, hating the yarn more and more. So, I finally said forget it, gave that yarn to a friend and went and purchased totally different yarn in a totally different color. This scarf is very long and has that nice woolly scent to it. Yarn doesn’t photograph well with flashes, but this stuff has a great depth of texture and color.

There is some requirement out there about cats and knitting and that they must sit on your projects to bless them or something like that.

    Cats must also sit on crochet projects, quilting projects, sewing projects, etc. That cat hair gives it a little extra warmth and character! :)
