Tracksy Web Stats A Knitter's Wonderland: It's About Time!

A Knitter's Wonderland

(To the tune of Winter Wonderland) Needles click, how they glisten, cozy sound, as you listen, they’re stuck everywhere, sit down if you dare, welcome to my knitter’s wonderland. Yarn abounds to overflowing, countless books increase my knowing. I need every bit; I care not a whit if there’s no pathway through my wonderland! In an evening I can make a mitten, start a shawl, a sweater, or a hat. But the question to ask any kitten, is “Do you think she’ll really finish that?”

It's About Time!

After harrassing Wayne about not posting on his blog for ages, I figured I better put something up before he REALLY starts to pick on me.

Not much of interest in my world and no pictures. I finished another preemie layette but haven't gotten around to taking pictures yet. Have almost finished a pumpkin hat and booties set for another grand nephew. I'll post pictures when I get it done. I only lack sewing the leaves on the booties.

And another Sugarism - We rented a wheelchair in September so I could go to the fair (which was really fun), and have found it to be very useful at home. We have one small black problem - if Sugar is ANYWHERE within sound of the wheels turning, she comes on the run yelling all the way. She LOVES riding in the chair. I don't even have to be in it! She just loves to ride!


Oh, another great reason to have a wheelchair - if you are stupid enough to fall down the stairs at the house you are going to list and sprain your ankle! Not a great way to start off a meeting, let me tell you! At least it was the left side which isn't working correctly anway. And it gets me out of PT (which I secretly blame because my knees are weaker now than before I started it and I am really embarrassed about being so clutzy as to fall off the bottom step).

Back to Sugar. Rimsky has started sleeping on Sugar's blanket. I keep her blanket next to me on the bed for whichever cat want to use it. Sugar rarely uses it, she prefers to just sleep on top of me (if any of you would like to see what it's like to sleep with a heavy bowling ball on your chest, I'd be happy to lend you Sugar). The other morning, Rimsky was sound asleep on the blanket when Sug popped up on the bed, saw him and laid down next to him.

How cute, I thought, they're finally getting along. The next thing I see is Sugar CASUALLY STRETCHING. Everytime she stretched, she poked Rimsky. She continued stretching (and poking) until he got up and left. Did she lay on her blanket? Of course not, she came over and did her impression of a bowling ball.

Leave me a comment and share what strange or funny things your fur-babies have done or what kind of personality quirks they have.

My two have 10pm freakouts. Come around 10pm, they start chasing each other through all three levels and all rooms, first one out front then the other!

Might have been a daytime chase that got them shut in the bedroom all day Thursday...

Susan,

I hope you're feeling better every single day. I'm so sorry to hear about your tumble and sprained ankle. Ouch!

Oh dear....I have too many strange kitty and doggie stories to post! : )

You're in my prayers every day.

There are a bazillion stories to tell about the fur-kids around here! I'll just stick to the most recent and most annoying! This morning Stoneleigh decided to frog my WIP...a baby sock and EAT my size 1 DPN's!!! Good thing he is so darn cute, huh?

Just this morning we found out that one of our outside dogs...got himself trapped in the neighbors BIG trash dumpster. Good thing trash pick-up was not today. I hope he will not do that again....DH had to go over and lift him out of the dumpster.

I don't think I could top Sugar's antics, though my cats certainly have their quirks. To offer one related to the blanket theme, I knit and felted my cats a kitty mat. Willow doesn't lie on it, but she does carry it around like a security blanket. It's quite a bit bigger than she is, too, so it's fairly impressive that she can even walk with that thing dragging between her feet. Cute, too!

Lexi does some zooming. She'll run down the hall and zoom around the living room and then stop and sit and blink. The something might set her off again and she'll zoom back the other way. I figure it's her way of running a lap or two. lol When this one friend of mine comes to visit, she'll sometimes sit on Lexi's chair. Ohhhhhhhh Lexi gets sooo jealous. She'll squeeze onto the chair somehow and sit or lay. She's very territorial. lol

I don't have any cats, but yours sound like fun!
