#caturday. This week my very favourite Caturday model was sent across the Rainbow Bridge. Miss my little guy. He was such a good cat. May he find a suitable incarnation that he earned in this life. Go with Grace, Lhakyi

Feeling sad as I stash the last order of US yarn for the foreseeable future. I hate this moment. I’ve always supported smallish suppliers, American and Canadian. I never want to hurt my neighbours particularly the “little guys”. Yet here we are.This sucks. It just hurts my heart. #knitsky

What’s left on the “Warm Up Sweater”. I’m really happy about how it turned out. Can’t wait to see it blocked and on my wardrobe. #knitsky

Off the needles for now. I’m happy that I added the extra length. I’ll do the last sleeve when my short circular needles arrive on Wednesday. In the meantime, I’ll be swatching the next yarn. #knitsky

I’m lucky enough to live 50 minutes from Briggs & Little Woolen Mill. Today’s haul was 10 skeins of Washed White Aran for my next project.

My sweater is off the needles at least until I pick up the stitches for the sleeves. I’m almost happy with it. I suspect with further consideration I will undo the bottom and add another 1.5 inches

First knit project for about a decade. Loads of mistakes and a lot of forgotten details but it’s great to know I can still knit. I’ve missed it too much. #knitting
