We had so much fun, we’re exhausted.

I know, this isn’t a face you see on my blog that often–she usually makes her appearances over at her Mom’s place. But since my camera was handy, I was the one who got to snap this picture. Kat didn’t want to nap with her brother, wanted to be with “the girls,” and so she entertained herself with us for a while until, suddenly, she was asleep. Standing up, and leaning against the sofa pillow. Then sloooowly, she slid backwards.

I had no idea that watching Risa and me knit was quite so tiring.

That’s the only picture I took all day, too. No kitty zen. No pictures of Alex (the little flirt). But I did get to meet the famous Sara, who’s just as soft and fluffy as she looks. Not only that, I got to meet and actually pet Earl and the elusive Duchess–a beautiful white and black cat. I’d never even seen a picture of her before, but am flattered that she came out to meet me. And that Alex wanted to hold MY hand when we went out, instead of his Mom’s. (Really. Very flattering. It made up for the fact that he clung to his Mom and wouldn’t come near me for the first half hour or so.)

The reason we went out instead of stayng in and knitting? We went back to Majestic Yarns, where I exchanged the extra yarn from my Olympics sweater, and got these in their place. That’s 6 skeins of Karabella Melange in a yummy blue-and-green, and three skeins of the green. I’m picturing a cardigan, with contrasting edges.

So, Carole? Does that count as 9 new skeins, even though I returned 6? Or only as the aggregate 3 for my anti-stashalong count?So, that’s my Saturday. I’ll have some knitting to show you tomorrow–I’ve still got at least a few days of knitting on my shawl, but I’ll show you an update.

And now, I’ve got to go look for some “E”s for the ABC-along. I’m really enjoying this photo-along–and can’t believe we’re starting the fifth fortnight of the year already!
