Knitting Yarn Cats

I have a follower of my blog, and I found out she's someone named Megan who lives in New Zealand. I'm not sure how she found me, but hello to Megan and I hope you are safe after the big earthquake today. It looks like it's not that close to you, but also not that far away. The map program I used shows it in kilometers, and I have no idea what that translates to in miles.

This picture doesn't do this little collar scarf justice. I was very happy with how it came out, and how the red button worked so well.Typical evening in winter - Alex on Will's lap, remote control comfortably sitting close by for use when needed.
This picture was at www.knittinguniverse.com with a caption about Stitches 2011. But alas I spotted myself in the picture, and I was not there on opening day this year, and I didn't wait with all these people. I went on Sunday. Can you find me?
I wasn't sure if I was going to go to Stitches West this year. I usually go on Friday with Diann, but this year I inadvertently scheduled myself to work on Friday. I decided on Saturday that I would go on Sunday. I'm glad I went. I expected it to be VERY crowded, but it wasn't. I was also there for the "must be present" grand prize drawings of $250, $400 and $750 cash, but I didn't win!

Here is what I bought - Rayon from Newton's probably for 2 scarfy/shawly projects (possibly a mobius pattern - think infinity symbol), and 2 pairs of socks. I can never seem to have enough black socks, and the other pair is for Will.
I also found this homeopathic medicine called Topricin that is supposed to work on pain. I don't usually go for stuff like that, but with my trigger finger on one hand, and because I just knit too much, I was willing to try it.

It's always random pictures

I just noticed I have two followers on my blog. Thanks, Lauren, for checking out my blog! I don't know who the other person is, but for now if she wants to see random (mostly cat) pictures, then I guess it's okay.

I may have posted this before, but it still cracks me up to see Alex (white whisker on our right) staring at Ziggy as Ziggy is eating. Silly Alex the intimidator. I love this sign - "Uneven Pavemen Surface". Is Pavemen anything like Cavemen? I kept driving by this sign, and finally I got the camera on my phone set up to take a picture. I wasn't driving! Good thing I did it - the next day the sign was gone after being there for several weeks!
Ah, how appropriate. This is Cupid's Heart sculpture in SF on the Embarcadero. Perfect for today - Valentine's Day! Happy Valentine's Day to all. My client is located right near this. Location, location, location.
