FOs And Shortcakes And Cats...Oh My!

When The Sheep was just a wee, little lambie she dreamed of a life filled with roses and rainbows. Well, that might be something of an exaggeration...at any rate, it is unlikely that she got all giddy at the thought of a future filled with cat poop.

And yet it seems that this is to be my lot in life. First, I get one leaving deposits on the kitchen counter.

Oh, for crying out loud! Let it go already...the rest of us have somehow managed to move on.

Now I have to spend my days comforting the other one, a constipated creature, and administering various forms of poop liquefiers in order that she might get past this somewhat indelicate condition. Sheesh!!!

Somehow, though, I have managed to carve out a couple of minutes to knock out the last few rows of the Jaywalkers. They've been kitchenered, end-woven, modeled for the uninterested felines and are ready for their blog debut:

It was a long walk for the Jaywalkers...but they've reached the finish line!!

Whew! I thought I'd never get those off the needles. I really like the solid yarn with this pattern. I tend to wear more of the plain socks than the stripey variety but love to see more than plain stockinette. The KnitPicks Essential worked well, but was a tiny bit "splitty." Otherwise, I'd say it was a pretty good and economical choice. I'd do 'em again!

Needing strength from my nursing and knitting duties, I decided that a little snack might be in order. Feast your eyes (since I'm the one who got to feast my tummy) on The Sheep's fresh strawberry shortcake with grated dark chocolate:

What more can I say? Oh, I know!

"Seconds, please!!!!"
