It is my day off, but i am procrastinating cleaning, which requires anther activity of psedo-utility (during the old days of my PhD i used to compile bibliographies). Last week Laura bought 2 skeins of
cascade 220 wool, not knowing what to do with it. I told Lura I'd come up with some suggestions for her, so lets do it! Keep in mind, I'm going to try and suit these suggestions to Laura's likes and skills, but I'll throw in some other good stuff after. links go to ravelry.com, if you don't already have an account use ours: login: knitomatic2, password: knitomatic

This is the Bulky Bolero Liane was working on for the store. It is made with Mission Falls 1824 cotton, 2 strands together, the pattern is from Knitting Pure & Simple. We made it a bit longer to cover winter's sins ;-)
I also made another crocheted market bag in a really pretty silver-grey from Super 10 Cotton.
I have been crocheting silk scarves for scratch but I forgot to take a picture so I'll do that and post again later!
this is one of my first pictures of Belle. She's a little stunned here, still in shock from all the changes in her surroundings. i got her from a foster family who had several large parrots and she had all kinds of anxiety in her life. She was picking out her feathers there, but they are growing back now.
This is Belle's second photo shoot. I learned pretty quickly that you should not test your pristine new light box with a little yellow crap-factory. There isn't an actual correlation between Belle's 'expression' in this picture and her personality, but she is shaping up to be an interesting little critter with a fiery spirit.
