When the Kitten Was Away

Okay, so I was only away for a few days, but I haven't posted for two weeks. "What's up with that?" you may be asking. "Where's she been?" Well, I had to take a week off for PMS. Yes, a week. (Mr. O'K fondly calls me Our Lady of Perpetual PMS.) My main symptom is extreme fatigue. How silly is that? And this is the midst of pretty much everything in the garden ripening simultaneously (zucchini, onions, beans, peas, tomatoes, cantalopes, corn, watermelon, cucumbers, as well as several apple trees...)

Anyway, so much for the aspiring farmess. Plants and animals don't much seem to care what part of your cycle you're in. Case in point...

This is how "King of the Mountain" fights begin.
At least they're putting the new cat tree to good use.

Hey, you're asking for a smackdown!
Well, I have more toes! I'll poke your eye out!
Thinking of going somewhere? I'm not done with you yet, sister!

Finally, on the needles: Razor Cami. Turns out those two balls of that chocolatey Millefili Fine won't be enough--drat! But at Lamafest this weekend I found a skein of beautiful Fleece Artist merino that I think (cross fingers and needles) will work. [After an extensive net search, I gave up hope of finding more Millefili.]

So at least I've gotten some knitting done. This will be my first wearable project--aside from hats, scarves, and wristwarmers--so I just pray I like the switch from chocolate cotton to variagated...if not, I know some kittens who are just dying to frog it for me.
