Zack made an appearance this week and I thought I owed it to his fans to provide the evidence.  He was sneaky and sly and waited for me to snip out for a minute to water the garden before he sunk his teeth into some wool that I have been working with.  Look for yourself.

He was punished.  He was drenched by a squirt bottle but I swear as he was running away I heard a wee little laugh. 

In knitting news I have this for you.  Call it a test if you will.  Ready.......What is wrong with these?

Give up?  One litle foot is way bigger than the other.  These are the duck feet booties from 50 Baby Bootees to Knit by Zoe Mellor.  They were easy to knit.  They would have been perfect on the first try had I not been staring into space and making one large than the other.  I am sure some of you are asking "why didn't you compare them as you were knitting?".  I did not do a comparison when I was mid knit because the finished bootie was in hiding and not with me when I was knitting the second one.  So, I had to redo and here are the two similar feet.  What kid would not want some duck feet huh?

These were knit out of leftover yarn from my Wild Stripes baby blanket (which I have yet to fix from the cat disaster). This particular color is Merino Style Harvest from Knit Picks. I have a lot of little leftovers from this blanket and thought that booties might just be the way to use up the extras.  I have another pair on the needles though they are not duck feet.     

Here is the Cashmere scarf/shawl that I knit from the pattern Daisy Meadow Scarf from Fiddlesticks.  There is supposed to be a little tassle but I am going to block it again and see if I can get it a little bigger.  This was knit out of Mongolian Cashmere that I bought when I was at a craft show in Denver.  I cannot for the life of me remember what the darn event was called but you get the idea.  It is really soft and I do believe that my mom will be getting this.  It is right up her alley.  Even if it does have a flaw.  I have decided that a weird corner edge on a shawl is going to be my signature.  I try really hard to avoid them but they show up anyway.  Maybe it will be my "thing".

So there you have it.  My knitting adventures since I last posted.  I am toying with a few new ideas on projects and will post more on those later.  I leave you with my soon to be (Pete's rather but I get to share and help with color decisions) vacation home.  Let me introduce you to Pete's tree. 

As some of you know he has a family farm in southern Indiana and I have no idea how big it is but it has a lot of trees.  Well, he has gotten addicted to a new magazine called Make and it had an article on tree houses.  So, he flew to the farm last weekend and found the perfect tree for our "love nest".  (Don't all throw up at once on the love nest thing.  I could not help myself)  I have requested that there be a knitting nook, breakfast room and hot tub in the tree house.  These have all been shot down but I am still throwing out ideas.  What do you think a treehouse needs? I am FULL of ideas.  

Until later.

Happy Knitting
