Knits With Cats
Knits With Cats
I'm a senior technical project manager at work, a knit project starter at home and a list-maker everywhere! I'm married and have too many cats, lots of books, almost enough rose bushes, and way too much yarn!

Kenobi sleeves
Sunday, 29 April 2007 7:54 P GMT-08
No photos, not yet, but the sleeves for Kenobi are off the needles! I have several entries that need photos, and have (temporarily, I hope) misplaced the camera. Proof of sleeves and other good things to follow.

Weekend Plans
Friday, 27 April 2007 12:24 P GMT-08
This weekend will be a busy one. We have no firm plans, and even our weight training has been cancelled, so both days are open to whatever we need or want to do. <!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> Mr. Ken wants to go bowling on Sunday; I&r
Whole lotta nuthin'

I got nuthin'. No pictures. Very little progress. No news.I've joined one front of Multicolore to the back. Both Kenobi sleeves are almost to the first decreases. The brown Ditto sock is within 30 minutes of comp

Trying Again

I wrote a long and lovely post Thursday night, and Blog-Spot decided to crash while saving it! Nothing I could write after that would have been as good, so I didn't even try.The new job seems to be OK. It's hard to tell, since I h

Kenobi and Maynard
Monday, 16 April 2007 5:35 P GMT-08
We had a very nice weekend, thank you. It rained while we were running errands Saturday, but mostly stopped when we were done and home. Sunday was the kind of day we live here for: warmish, clear and beautiful. Today is nice too, bu
Eye Candy Friday - Bloomin' Roses
Friday, 13 April 2007 11:56 A GMT-08
Normally I don't do eye candy Friday. Today I can't resist, largely because my roses are blooming like crazy, and they make me so happy.Today's roses are for Debby, who loves pink and is doing pink and green for Project Spectrum. &n
Happy Birthday, Granny!
Tuesday, 10 April 2007 2:56 P GMT-08
Today is my grandmother's 96th birthday. She's a remarkable woman - still lives by herself with a cat or two - and has lead a very interesting life. She was widowed in 1980, after 49 years and 50 weeks of marriage. She's

Hard labor
Sunday, 8 April 2007 10:47 A GMT-08
Happy Easter to those who celebrate!We spent much of the day doing hard labor in the yard. Last summer we carefully tore out a couple of brickwork paths in the back yard. Mr. Ken wanted to reuse the chunks to create a "landing"

Really!Mr. Ken and I went to junkyards (more than 1!) on Saturday. He was looking for parts for the engine he's creating for his TVR; I was providing moral support, tool handling and looking for photo ops.Our weather has been acting more li

Cute kitties
Friday, 6 April 2007 9:40 A GMT-08
It's been a while since I've posted a kitty update, and cuteness is always good. Clawdette is settling in nicely. She's so little - still at 5 pounds and between 8 and 9 months - for a mostly full-grown cat. Of cou

Knitting, with pictures!
Thursday, 5 April 2007 9:20 A GMT-08
Photographic proof that progress is being made:The very agressively blocked back of Kenobi: Gauge is measured over the moss stitch (in my case, seed stitch) and the reverse stockinette sections really want to sag. I love the look so far, a
Updates and Blahs

Good progress was made on the to do list. Of the "musts", only finishing taxes remains. I've blocked the back of Kenobi, and the fronts of Multicolore; when they are dry I can begin the finishing process. Our seder las
April Fools Day

If you've read knitswithcats for very long, you know that I'm a major-league list maker. Today is no exception! Without further ado, and because making my to-do list public might also keep me honest, here's the first list of A
