One handwarmer done, a part of my Project Spectrum projects! The pattern is here. Thanks, Wendy for sharing it! I love it! The yarn! The pattern! The warm hand~what's not to love?
See the blue sky? Please know that it is hard to take a picture of your own hand held up to the sky. Go ahead. Try it! The arm is just not long enough!
Tonight I'll tackle the second one. Bethany pronounced it TOO ITCHY. So, these will be mine, perfect for cold hand syndrome when on the computer. Does that happen to you? My hands get Freezing while computering!
Here's a secret: I think I'll knit Bethany a pair of these out of the malabrigo yarn! Yum! Shhh! Don't tell. That would be mean!
And I've been knitting on these:

Slow and steady. To remind you, these are the Nordic Mittens from the Winter 2004 IK, brown sheep nature sport yarn. I'm kind of in love with these. Big infatuation!
And now a story about a chubby orange cat~
This past week, a chubby orange cat showed up around our house, as apparently happens around here occasionally. This is not the same orange cat as last year. Go figure. This cat looked somewhat like Morris the cat. This cat stood at the door, looking as if it wanted to come in, it meowed loudly on the porch, fell asleep on the front steps, cried pitifully at night, all the while the wind is howling and the temperature is dropping into unheard of cold around here this winter. After hearing the cries in the nighttime, I left a bowl of food out when I went to work. I could not stand it anymore. He would not wither away and starve on my porch. I even thought about putting a blanket out. When I came home from work that day, the food was gone, every last morsel and the cat has not been seen in 3 days. Now, here is my thought. I think it's all a cat game. Obviously the fact that I am a softie has gone out in the kitty newsletter, read by cats near and far. They have taken it upon themselves, a challenge really, to see how long it will take for me to feel bad, lose a night's sleep and feed them. I bet they all took bets on how long it took. This Morris-ey cat went back to the super secret cat hideout and announced that whoever has 2 days wins the pool!
Are they mocking me?
Really?

Fig says:~Actually, it's because I'm a chick magnet!
