Poor Little Thing

I started a new project, I got a good excuse, I need a present (I will, eventually,,,) It is another of Anne’s Little NothingsBrambler who called my name and insisted I will try it out before others that I thought I want to knit. Who am I to refuse a call from such a lovely pattern, right?

Brambler - My latest Knitting Project

I am knitting it in Alpaca & Silk yarn of Blue Sky Alpaca in the color Ice. It is a leftover yarn from my stash, I am so good! The scarf is not as long as it looks in this photo, just about 32″, I can’t make up my mind if to knit it longer than the suggested length in the pattern, I think I will.

I am also working on my second BSJ in the Bearfoot yarn of Mountain Colors, it is not very photogenic right now.

And my last photo is of another rescuee but although we are not sure, it looks like this one was not very lucky :(

Poor Little Thing

Two nights ago I suddenly noticed something fluffy walking along the step in our living room, I immediately summoned my hero and he took this little thing and put it somewhere soft outside but we don’t think it had many chances to survive. We don’t know how it came into the house, the wicked Saki was nowhere to be seen, but my guess is that he brought it in.

How do you make it clear to a cat that you really DON’T LIKE such presents?!?

My Hero

My hero recovered the lost photos from the camera’s memory card, he is so good to me, isn’t he?

Now I can show you our visitors:

Click to enlarge as I had to keep the photo quite large for you to be able to see the little ones! I love the way Mom and Dad Quail take care of their little ones, one day I will manage to catch them walking in their straight arrangement: a parent in the lead and the other one on guard at the end, they are so cute. By the time we got to the camera this time they moved from the paved part to the gravel and there the line dispersed.

I can also show you photos that show my Argosy better:

Argosy Scarf Isn’t that nice?
