Baby games


Peekaboo...
…I see you.

Yesterday I spent time admiring my little breeding group and wondering what might be growing beneath the girls' sheep suits and fleeces. Nightcap's face is smoothing out, losing its "Klingon" breeding season look; I'm hoping that means that none of the girls is cycling because all three are bred – including YOU, Sarai!

Nightcap is such a handsome ram, and remains the consummate gentleman. I can't wait to see his (EWE) lambs! Based on when he was introduced to the ewes, lambs could arrive as early as late January, but I don't really expect to see any until mid-March.

Still two long months to go at . . .

Déjà Vu

That would be fog,

and another Gnarled Entling Warmer!

Whatever it is, I'll take it!

I'll take this morning's sunrise.

I'll take the rain falling outside right now.

I'll take happy hounds in front of the fire.

And I'll take the knitting mojo that's got my needles gobbling up yarn from my stash!

Today I finished the red mohair shawl for a sweet senior friend at church (2014 FO #3),
only to realize that left me nothing to knit during Brian's hour-long violin lesson this afternoon. Ack! There was no time to figure something out, so I grabbed the bag containing my one languishing project on my way out the door. Now my Lanesplitter skirt is seamed up and ready to have its waistband stitches picked up! (It's only waited since May, 2011, for me to face that seam.) And this evening, I measured and wound the little partial skein of Fiesta Boomerang I picked up years ago at Woodland Woolworks; I think there's just enough for another Gnarled Entling Warmer.

At this rate, I may get at least one of the two cardigans I want to knit done in time to wear this winter!

Feeling a little giddy with accomplishment, at . . .
