OK, in the interest of fairness, I should post a picture of my other kitty, Chiquita. This is not going to turn into a catblog, but I don’t want to seem like I’m playing favorites.

This is what she did when she found out her picture was not on my site, and she refused to move until I posted. (That’s my laptop her head is on). I’m serious. Of course, it makes it quite difficult to type and use the mouse pad. And she gets copious amounts of fur underneath the keys. My friend has suggested looking into spinning cat fur - I see that some people have done it, but it looks like it might be hard. But if I could figure it out, I would have a free source of yarn on my hands that would last me years and years…

(Blue was made lighter in the pic to show off the pattern better…)

First off, there has been little to no work done on Season, since I’m using most of my time to get the lace blouse done. This jacket is going to be a long haul for me, anyway.

Sharon should be posting a new pic of her progress on Season soon - if you haven’t already checked out her site, she has quite a bit more done than me and it’s rockin’!

Left side started. There is an error in the pattern, for anyone who’s making this - I emailed Teva the other day to make sure. She said she will be adding it to her error page, which you can find at her site, Loop-d-Loop. It’s just a small thing to do with the shoulder shaping, nothing that would keep you up at night - but of course while I was waiting for her to email me back I impatiently and incorrectly guessed what the pattern was supposed to say and now I’ll have to frog four or five rows. Yep. But it won’t be the first time I’ve had to go back and work rows again on this thing. Occasionally I would lose track of the lace pattern and not notice the mistake until I’d knit another couple of inches. I mean, that happened to me like three times. This sweater would have been done by now if it weren’t for me getting distracted by The Daily Show.

This is what my soon-to-be-sweater would look like if she starred in a film noir. I just finished reading The Big Sleep for the second time - I guess I need to put the movie on my Netflix list (never seen it).

Of course, my soon-to-be-sweater is much too sweet and innocent to be the femme fatale. She kind of looks like the murder victim in this picture.

Pity. She was so sweet. And innocent. And unfinished.
