My sister and her husband must be flying westward as
we speak – they are much missed.
All proceeds well on the cat front, although I am
afraid Perdita doesn’t love me any more.bhggs2222222222222222

I went down to
the Stockbridge market this morning – a good Sunday walk, just far enough to be
slightly stretching. There was no anxious furry face at the inner glass door
when I got back, and no sign of her all afternoon. She’s here, all’s well, but
she doesn’t love me. Interjections, above and below, are from the kitten.
Each cat has its own place (with litter tray, food and
water). I think I will shut the kitten in here alone again tonight. During the
day, I let them loose together. Perdita, if anything, seems still to be
frightened of her sister.
I think the name is going to be Paradox, my
brother-in-law’s suggestion. I’m not quite sure yet, but it seems appropriate. She’s enchanting. And she PURRS.
Knitting
I’m very near the point where all will be joined
together for Miss Rachel’s Yoke. Maybe tomorrow.
Thank you for your help with the EYF. Yes, I know that
TomofHolland is theoretically possible. But I don’t thinaqqqqqqqqqqqqqq his
classes fit. One is on Sunday, by which time I will be prostrate and the
market closed. One is on Friday (or is it Saturday) morning – but the class with Marchant on
brioche which is my Big Want, is the afternoon of the same day. I’m not sure I’m
strong enough for a full day’s learning. 34cu4i assssssss I’ll think about both
possibilities.
I’ve been watching The Knit Show on YouTube,
sponsored, I gather, by VK. They only told me about it recently, but there seem
to be a lot of episodes available. It’s good, no doubt. But my heart remains
with Andrew and Andrea, who should reappear this week after their appearance at
Shetland Wool.
Which cat was helping with the typing?
ReplyDeleteParadox. She loves me, anyway.
DeletePerdita will come round, I’m sure. She’s just sulking a bit but if you continue to be the source of food and affection, she’ll get over it.
ReplyDeleteCheck the Marchand class details carefully. I just took a class with her at Shetland Wool Week (and I mean no criticism of her, she is a very good and engaging teacher) which was actually about “tuck” stitches, not the increases and decreases in brioche that I was hoping to learn. I understand that she has a book on tuck stitches coming out, but unfortunately I don’t find them as visually appealing as brioche patterns.
Yes, indeed. I don"t have the programme in front of me as I write -- but I'm trying to avoid tuck stitches in favour of Advanced Brioche, or something to that effect. I do so envy you Shetland Wool Week.
DeleteDrat, Marchant I mean. Autocorrect is so annoying sometimes
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely kitten. She looks absolutely adorable and cuddly with very soft fur. I hope she is a lap sitter who purrs contentedly when petted. Our present cat, a tortishell, is quite aloof and barely tolerates being touched. She stays near us and clearly likes us, especially at mealtimes, but I really miss my sweet Milly, a pastel tabby, who greeted even strangers with tail up. She loved being petted and would sit all day on my lap if I had time.
ReplyDeleteSo happy Paradox, if that indeed is her name, has found you.
Paradox the Beautiful seems to have infected you with an engaging speech impediment - do you think she is trying to teach you to purr?
ReplyDeletePerdita will come round - she might even end up a better cat when she get used to the change. Just bit of settling in needed - I think you would already see the signs if it was going to turn out disastrous.
I was so taken with Soutache that I bought the kit, only to realize I had no idea how to brioche knit. I'm working through Nancy Marchant's class on Craftsy. You are a bad influence, Jean. :)
ReplyDeleteI think if she is called paradox then she should be known as Purradox if she's as purry as you say!
ReplyDeleteknitobsession posting from work - hence the anonymous!
As one of seven, I know that it all sorts itself out eventually. (Siblings, that is, not cats!). Oh I think I’ll go look at the EYF list and dream.
ReplyDeleteA friend who had adopted some rather aloof ferals found that they began to warm to her after she adopted some friendly cats.
