Grr, nuts, and yay!

Grr.: Christmas eve I had to take the cat to the vet again for another eye re-check. The ulcer has receded from one part of the eye, but reappeared on another part. It looks like we’ll be getting a referral to a veterinary opthamologist. My Latin is rusty, but I believe that “Veterinary opthamologist” translates as “Give me all your money.”

Nuts!: I finished knitting up a toddler devil hat for a friend, only to realize that the hat is sized to fit a kid who is probably between 12-18 months. Except that the kid I was knitting it for is four year old. Aw, nuts! Well, somebody will want it. I’ll just do another, since I’ve got plenty of red wool left over.

Yay!: My husband, impressed with how well I learned two-handed fair isle techniques to make him the Space Invaders hat, decided to get me something challenging and knitting related. So I got a copy of “Unexpected Knitting” and a video on two-handed fair-isle technique! I learned a LOT from the one minute streaming video that they have on their website, so I’m confident I’ll be throwing with both hands like a pro after seeing the video and practicing a little. I’m very psyched!

ETA: Aaaand I have already managed to spill milk on the book, sticking half the pages together. Merry Christmas, everyone!
