Getting better

I still have the lurgy but it is improving. It has meant that I have done bugger all other than knit and listen to my current favourite podcast: "a short history of ..." on Noiser if you're interested - very well done and looks at all sorts of historical stuff in ways that make you think differently about stuff we were taught in school.

Anyway. At least I don't have to wear the cone of shame ...

Poor Jinx. She still keeps licking her nethers which causes ulceration. We think she might have a bit of urine leakage which isn't uncommon in speyed dogs so we're trying hormone replacement. The joys of being a female of a certain age. I can relate but I don't lick my nethers.

The scarf I'm knitting for Two continues to grow. I'm using a NZ merino/possum blend. It's so soft and fluffy without shedding like a lot of fluffy yarns do. It's a blue grey and the possum gives a gentle brownish tinge. Once it's finished and blocked I'll show you. 

I am also knitting a vest for me. I made one for the Mermaid a couple of years ago. It's an easy pattern but has a design to keep it interesting. Also vest = no sleeves so I will finish it before I get bored. Why do sleeves take soooooo long to knit?

Clouds this evening...
