moving on

P1040320

The trees are bare, leaves down and settled now onto the woods floor.  Light comes through the bare bones of the canopy.  This is the way I love the forest.  Open. Quiet. Linear.  Even the cats are settling in for the season.  Instead of spending their days hunting, they are seeking out the warm, cozy spots.  Zak is taking over my chair. I try to get him to share.   No.  He’s an all or nothing kind of guy.  When I push him over he leaves to find the next good spot.

Even in the house, my hands feel the cold coming in.   I’m working on some halfmits to match the Tashi Crest of the Wave scarf.  It’s slow, knit a bit, change my mind, rip back.  There will be a right and a left.  No pattern on the palm.

I managed to fit in a little bit of a walk today.  The color is nearly gone.  But, what’s left is brighter for the comparison.

    Looks like a good Kitty to me.
    Is that a leather chair?How do you keep him from sinking his little claws in to it?
    My Kitty is bad,but i love him anyway.

  7. Your woods are farther along than mine. Interesting, I’m knitting mittlets also, for warm hands.
    Zak’s picture is perfect counterpoint.

  8. Amazing picture! (The top one.) And that is one comfy looking kitty. Your pictures make me feel like I ought to be looking for snow. But it’s still in the 70’s here…
