Animal Kingdom

I took the notion to clean my knitting nest corner and room. Took me most of the day but I accomplished quite a bit. I frogged quite a few projects that were cast on during the snowstorms. I had a serious case of startitis.
Needless to say there were a lot of needles to put away and I finally found my size 6's.

Miss Aurora found a newly emptied yarn basket and immediately meowed and crawled in for a much needed nap. She spent the afternoon chasing yarn balls and knocking the needles on the floor. I suppose all that activity would tire anyone.





Finally sigh a finished pair of socks. The Monkey pattern is one of my favorite go-to sock patterns. These are the no-purl Monkeys. I made these from Socks That Rock but for heaven's sake, don't ask me the colorway. I lose
labels all the time and I only know a yarn by the feel, dye process and twist.












Honestly this dog is so nosey. Mr. Bettis just had to check out what I was doing.

By the way, he has a very wet nose.

I cleaned up my spot on sunday morning while Tom was grocery chopping, moved the chair to a new spot and rearranged all the extraneous stuff, (by putting it all in the bedroom) now when I feel better I have to go put all of that somewhere!! I am talking only 4 rooms here including kitchen and bath and 2 total closets!!

The basket shot is just perfect

I love the big nose picture! Makes me laugh. The kitty in the basket looks like fleece that needs spinning up. I had to look twice and then I saw that little ear. Awww!
