Just Don’t Call It “Nothing”
What’s this??
It couldn’t be a NbaT, could it??
Why, yes, it could!
(Forgive the lousy photo–the end of a long day, no makeup, etc, etc.)
It fits pretty well, too, though I don’t think I did my best job sewing the seams. I’ll rewet it and block it properly tomorrow, now that it’s all sewn together, but I’m happy with it.
In other knitting news, my Flower Basket Shawl (in Chai) is coming along like gangbusters. I only started it on Saturday, but I’m already into my third color stripe. (You’ll remember I’m using four different colors, one shading into the next.) It looks just lovely, and I can’t get over how fast it’s going . . . but compared to my Peacock, which seemed to inch forward in painfully slow increments (unlike, say Wendy’s), this is just flying. It’s a nice, straightforward pattern, easy to remember, symmetrical on both sides of the center point . . . a breeze.
For my Union Square Market Pullover, I’m still waiting for my third-option yarn to come, and then I get to pick from the contenders which I want to use. Now that my NbaT is done, and the shawl is flying along (assuming I didn’t jinx it) . . . I’m more anxious than ever to start that sweater. The Knit-along is up to 14 people now, which is kind of cool. All the more reason that I want to start!
Chappy’s been kind of quiet today–didn’t even help Mom with the vacuuming this morning–and seems just a tiny bit warm to me. Not enough to be “sick” or too worrying, but just enough that I want to give him a little extra TLC. He deserves it, after all, and besides, I’d hate for him to be sick on his birthday!

House Calls




Beautiful T-Shirt!
Did I understand correctly? Is it Chappy’s Birthday today or tomorrow??? and if so give him plenty of hugs from me!
Looks great and you have absolutely no need to worry about it being the end of the day and all that! Hope Chappy feels happier soon. It was all that playing with Horatio.
Your NBaT looks great! I love the color combination.
