Wibbo's Words

Take one cat

and add one scrunched-up leaf from catnip plant.

She's sleeping it off now.

And it's good weather for...

...drying the final load of woolly winter socks.

Where did April go?

April seems to have slid past without making so much as a gentle ripple on the surface of my life. I've been deep in gift knitting/crochet which is (thankfully) nearly finished - many of the friends-who-I-make-stuff-for have birthdays in April and May so at least I get time during the summer to cast on a few things for myself before the Christmas present rush begins. 

Latest off the hook is this blanket for Liz's birthday and I'm really pleased with how the colours of Jitterbug and Koigu work together.



Flossie the Faithful Companion has spent much of the month asleep; when awake, she veers between being seriously in-your-face pushy


 
and won't-look-you-in-the-eyes shy.

We haz sunshine

Use a rubbish bin

Notice on the lift door where I live - I'm still wondering what the Middle Ages have to do with the problem...

And then there was more

Just a sprinkle

A little powdery snow fell this morning but I'm cheered up by a splash of yellow from miniature daffies. A day to stay put at home, I think.

Still trying to decide on a new blog theme - this one's the best so far although I'm not sure if the grey stripes make an attractive background or they're just plain boring....

Growing

Bulbs on the balcony are starting to sprout and it's time for me to come out of winter hibernation. Yarnwise, I've almost finished a third blanket, this one made out of Colinette Jitterbug. Luscious yarn in luscious colours.

Flossie is, as usual, lost in contemplation.
