Cables!


I decided to branch out and do a project with cables. I was always scared to as I knit while watching a show or socializing, but this is a fantastic pattern from 101 Designer One-Skein Wonders.

The edges are curling a bit so it looks uneven. Instead of sewing it, I'm going to crochet the sides together and then stuff it with catnip and fluff.

So far, I'm over 1/2 way done. You can see where the pattern breaks to fold over.

Baby Blankie

I finished the blanket for a coworker's sister's baby. Follow that? She and her sister loved it. It was small, but little Xavier was pretty tiny - just over 5lbs.

Now, I'm working on a kitty kick toy with cables!
Well, in between cleaning that is.

Bunny Nugget FO



I found the pattern on Ravelry for Bunny Nuggets and had to make one for my friend we call Bunny. She loved it. I can't wait to make more!

Changes


There are huge changes going on currently in my life. I am learning quite a lot about myself in this process. I am becoming a different person and the change is more apparent daily.

I am still knitting and I'm hoping to do that more. I am still wanting to work with ferret rescue, just perhaps not to the capacity that I was. I want to keep socializing with my friends and building friendships.

But I'm doing all this alone now. I have my roommate to help with things. I'm having to rely on myself and not anyone else. I'm having to stand on my own two feet more than ever. I'm having to be strong and learn to do things that I haven't for a long time or haven't ever done. I am on my own.

I have a lot of work to do now on the house, for my pets and for myself. I hope that this will one day be worth it because right now, it can get hard to breathe and it is incredibly lonely. I have confidence that I will get through this and I will be a stronger person because of it.
