Jenny and I went to Landmark to buy seeds for her gardening and they had baby ducks. Baby ducks! For sale! I pined terribly and considered buying one right then and there, but I really think my mother would disown me. Anyway, I've gotten over the baby ducks. Impractical. So, what's practical? A kitten! I'm entirely convinced that getting a kitten is the right choice. I just have to talk our mom into it. I think I can.
Lately, I've found a need for a hobby and also a way of relaxing. So, I thought I would take another stab at knitting. I knew I wanted to make leg warmers but I didn't know how to go about it. So I did what I always do. I just cast on a bunch of stitches and started knitting. I figured if it wasn't the right size it would make a lovely scarf. I'm using one strand each of dark grey alpaca and Shimmer from knitpicks. (They don't seem to have the same color now, but it's the preview picture on the main yarn page. It's varying shades of purple and minty green.) It's turning out really pretty and I measured it and it should fit my ankle, but I'll have to increase for the calf. I'm worried I'll ruin it all if I try. So... lovely scarf or possible unsalvageable mess? Decisions, decisions...
P.S. Thank you, God, for the not freezing weather... I like sun, too.

Dude, why couldn't you have wanted a kitten back when my mom was trying to give away six?
I did want a kitten then. I just didn't need one.
