knittin' kitten

My mother's cat
is amused by
my knit cotton cloths.
I was told that a complete
inspection by the
Cat of the House was
carried out and the
cloths do pass muster.

with a plan.

Cotton knitting updates?
the colourful bunch
of Rowan Hand-knit cotton
skeins
are being used for practical-home-things.

the "Calmer" Cotton. . . still not sure.
Maybe a hat or two.
Thanks to everyone who made
suggestions and queries.


In the meantime,
there are some cute little shoes.
Suede. Brown.
Ok, they're NOT summery
but they are practical and the
Knitting Companion will be
soon a fan of these, when he
realize that
they involve going out with him.

cotton with a plan. Or without.

Really,
i had a plan for this yarn.
and since then,
i've changed my mind
several times.
Time to make a cup
of tea and re think things.

little knits

more cotton (rowan's Hand knit cotton),
more happy,
squishy softness. More colour.

spring time colours for knitting

cotton for knitting.

who could resist ??

cheerful and bright

soft and cheerful
little cotton cloths.

rows and rows of flowers

these simple knitted
items are humble cloths made of cotton.

but the "hills and valleys" of vibrant
colour remind me of a trip
that the Knitting Companion and i made a few
years ago to the Eastern Townships of Quebec.

It was early in August,
and there were fields and
fields of beautiful flowers.
The rows were bunched together,
according to flower blossom colours.
it was magically beautiful.

At the time, i had a camera that just wasn't
up to the challenge of scenery photos in
late day, fading light. None of my
photos could really capture the
glory of the darkening sky and
the brilliance of the thousands of flowers.

But these humble cotton
pieces, when viewed very close-up,
give the idea of the rows; the bunchy-close
blossoms, and the rich earth.

yes its time for yarn

cotton yarn, by Rowan.
Yes, i feel better just looking at this.
Something nice for a Monday.

Happy Easter

Happy Easter Day while some people may be thinking of their Easter Eggs, i'm playing with some lovely fresh skeins of Cotton. Nice and bright. perfectly cheery things to play with to celebrate Easter with the Knitting Companion.

knit, knit

knitting with Rowan cotton today.
i'm enjoying the squooshyness
and the twist to this lovely cotton yarn.
below, you can see
some evidence of some finished
pieces in a variety of cottons.
