The Lewis family accessories have been delivered to their intendeds. Steph says the hat covers her whole head, which is a good thing. If it didn't, I'd be a bad knitter. Joe-the-office-roomie's scarf approached TARDIS length, but I didn't want him tripping over it or getting it caught in doors, as that would also make me a bad crocheter. And Julia is hopefully well-stocked with hats now. (I've really got to remember to take pictures of finished pieces before they go out into the world, so I can post them here.)
Now I'm working on a sweater for Belle, my sister's dog. Store-bought sweaters don't fit her well, and I found a pattern that should work well for her.
I've seriously gorged on reading lately, too. Finished Eternals, Stitch-n-Bitch crochet and knitting books, Margaret Atwood's The Penelopiad, and some more of Oscar Wilde's letters (aren't you proud of me? It's been awhile since I've mentioned Oscar; oh, and BBC7 is broadcasting a reading of The Canterville Ghost; there's a good version on Librivox, too - sorry, couldn't resist).
I've also indulged in a lot of blog reading in the early morning while I drink my hot water with lemon juice (liver cleanser). I never cease to be amazed at the lovely stuff available on the interwebtube:
- insect and bird art
- dolores the sheep
- black apple prints
- beautiful drawings
- peter h reynolds illustrations
- kikiverde - the tagline says it better than I could; I just may make the pincushion for my mom as she into ladybugs
- tea cozies like you've never seen!
- possibly the most colorful blog I've ever come across, and there's beeyooteefull yarn there too! I've been perusing this one as much for the photos as for the writing

That's quite a bit of knitting Cate. Where do you find all that time? Yes-by all means post pics of your stuff-I'd very much like to see your creative side. I'd also very much like to read some of your works. Be well.
I'm glad you enjoyed the ladybug pincushion- thanks for the link love!
