Vote for Marcel- help animals! + brief knitting and drawing updates
It seems my Knit-A-Log time has been eaten by my facebook/Ravelry/flickr/blog reading time! Well, here is a quick update, with (hopefully! Because who knows where time goes when you get sucked into that black hole of everything!!) more to come! First of all, Marcel wants everyone to know that he is entered in this Spay Day Pet Photo Contest for raising money for the Humane Society. We know there are a lot of causes to give to, and a lot of people are fairly tapped out at this point, but we thought we would see if Marcel's mug could raise a couple of $$ for the animals. So Marcel sends out his best love and sincerest gratitude to all who lend a helping paw and vote for him.
So yeah, other than that, I've been knitting and have finished so many little things- 5 hats since December (one for my downstairs neighbor for Christmas, one for Dan, one for Mummy and 2 for me,me,me!!), one baby sweater for Charlotte, (which hopefully will get to her before she's in college- its a race against time!! These babies grow fast in Knitting Time. I have a small purple sweater in progress which was intended for a certain Caroline, made in 4 year-old size. The child is now 6, I believe- please tell me she isn't 7- How does it happen?? Time accelerates!) and countless hemp washcloths. Now I'm making another pair of Fetchings in a lovely bright blue/green for me. (the color is actually much brighter than on the screen. Yarn courtesy of the dear Biko and bought at Nina on a lovely warmish,wandering afternoon. We also had German chocolate cupcakes from Alliance Bakery- omg, they are totally from The Devil- in a good way!!)
Oh, and at Christmas I knitted like a skillion of these tiny acorns- which, if you believe, like Corey does, and you have faith, you can plant and grow a sweater tree in your backyard. Or you could just hang them on your Christmas tree, which I did.
Marcel has more news and he is poking me with his pata, whispering, "tell them about the book! Tell them!!" Because he's very excited about the new zine we have been making called Marcel's Happy Book. We've posted some images from it on my flickr page-
Will post updates when its all finished!
Here is me on one of my few Bike Winter days- it is truly sad how much of a winter biking wuss I have become- I need to get out and do it some more as it makes one feel quite invincible. And plus keeping moving is actually much easier than waiting for a bus or train in the cold. Its a fact! And yet, and yet. Sigh.
One always looks hotter in a helmet. Its true!!
So soon I will be posting pictures of tulips.
