For Mother’s Day, I knit Mom a dishcloth, plus a little IOU card for two more. I finally got them both done this week and gave them up to her - she adored them both, but especially the hearts one that I snapped a picture of. (Picture coming soon - seems I don’t have GIMP installed on this computer yet! *gasp*!) That done, I also sent of R’s Harlequin Kitty Hat (pics of that coming, too!) and I’ve begun another Kitty Hat for T. R’s hat was all colorful - orange and blue and green, and so very much like Harlequin himself (Harlequin, for the uninitated, is a character, who happens to have orange, blue, and green hair, and purple and red eyes. Yes. He’s a doll.) My own is a rather fuzzy black, and T’s will be gray. She requested it that way. It’s not as fuzzy furry as the other two, but I did swear I wouldn’t be working with that crap again for some time. I’m using Wool-Ease on it, though, which has a fuzzy, heathered look to it. Good enough. I’m 3″ into it, and I like it already.

That said, I need to knit more. I have loads of yarn, and little to show for it. Pity. Most of what I knit I despise before it’s even finished. Like my ill-fated sock. And my pocket monster that somehow turned out way too small. And various other small things. I need to finish my campus coat and see if it’ll be big enough to fit around my fat body or not. If not, I guess I’ll send it to someone who can wear it. Though I dunno who that’d be.

And I’m dying to do another Branching Out. I’d like to make one for myself, and maybe another lace scarf of some sort for Mom for Christmas. But first… the gray heathered kitty hat. I hope to finish it this week.
