Cat Enhancement
Last Monday (has it really been ten days since I've posted?) we went to town to do a bunch of shopping (think Costco, Trader Joe's, etc) and to see Annie's new apartment. Annie has a very nice apartment now, and a new roommate. You've met Big Cat and Little Cat; now meet Baby Cat. This is Kyra, the latest in family cat enhancement. (Come on, you know everyone needs a little cat enhancement now and then.)
Of course there was also stash enhancement of the usual type. The last shopping stop of the day was at Purls, where I got lost in the Cascade 220 display. I think every single color was there. I wanted to pick out yarn for stranded mittens and hats ala Elizabeth Zimmerman and Meg Swanson, for the trip to Alaska in the fall.
Dark red and green with ecru as the contrasting color.
Dark gray with light gray for the mister.
And about 1400 yards of Malabrigo laceweight. I'm thinking possibly a retry on the Icarus Shawl and maybe a scarf from Victorian Lace Today. But there are so many options out there. Decisions, decisions. I'm going to let it marinate a bit and see what comes to mind.

Kyra, Baby Cat is so adorable. All ears right now!
pat, do I have your snail mail addy?
That pussy cat sure is cute! Love your new yarn purchases - I'm curious what the hat will look like. I'm going to Alaska too - but late Spring.
Awww baby cat is so cute!
Great stash enhancement. I can't wait to see what you choose for the lace.
Love baby kitties. Much better than anti-depressants.
Beautiful yarns! Knit on!
