Moving on.

Thanks to everyone who has commented and sent me heartfelt thoughts regarding the death of my cat, Fatty.  It's been such a hard week and I've found myself spiraling down into the depths of depression.  But as I fall, I also just stop and think and regather myself.  It's time to remember Fatty as a wonderful part of my life and remember that we have a family to grow here.  He wouldn't want us moping around too much longer.

I've been knitting a bit and here's a little pic of something that's about 75% done...

It's my take on the Anthropologie-Inspired Capelet (ravelry link) by Julia of Peonyknits! The yarn is fantastic...It's Noro Taiyo, a cotton/wool/silk blend.  Love it doesn't begin to describe.  I'll definitely be getting more of this colorway to make a scarf for myself this fall.  It's my perfect storm of colors...pinks, greens, bronzes, so many different shades of these.
I'm knitting this a little bit longer because I am a buxom gal.

I've finished a cowl, but I just can't seem to get it photographed properly.  I'll work on that this week!

This is all the post I can manage right now, I'll try to check in later in the week.

Happy Mother's Day to the mothers out there!

LOVE IT! I picked up some Noro Taiyo a few weeks ago. It's gorgoeus yarn. Love that pattenr too. It's been in my pattern box for a long time. Maybe now I'll actually knit one.

I'm sorry about your cat -- that yarn looks absolutely edible. What a nice, comfortable sweater that will make!
