Surprise, surprise, I knit last weekend. I whipped up this scarf. well, actually I had already knit about six inches of the thing a while ago. I was itching to knit something....
It is a scarf out of Kureyon, And I forgot the color. It is the stuff I used to knit the Noro sweater James with. I finished the sweater but hated it so I ripped it out. I do however love the yarn.
I followed a pattern from a little Vogue scarf knitting book, at least that is where I found the pattern. One uses two strands of the multicolored Kureyon, alternating rows, to create the stripes. This was even more fun that just knitting with one strand of Kureyon. I washed this baby and the Kureyon softened right up. I ended up with a scarf a little longer than the length of a full sized bed.
I FINALLY felted the kitty bed I knit a month or so ago and Uma just loves it....She is sitting in it as I type......
As you can see she took to it like a fish to water. Notice the tray in which the bed sits. I bought this tray several years ago. As soon I got home from shopping I was unpacking the goodies I found that day. I pulled the tray out of the bag, put it on the kitchen island and Uma promptly plopped her "fatness" right in the middle of it! Fatness is Uma's nickname........
The tray is gorgeous, hand painted with a sort of Venetian design, not that we ever get to enjoy it mind you. Anything for the animals I say, or at least that is the way it is in our house. That is the way it should be in any house......Life just gets better and better...All for now......
The two strands of Noro looks nice together, I'll have to try that.

that may be the cutest cat pose ever on a blog! noro stripes -simple and brilliant. its fun to strand them, too. as for what next to felt, i got lucky once felting a kureyon hat, and sounds like you have a bit more of this yarn on hand. don't remember you as a hat person tho. when i go to moebius knitting camp i will pick up cat bordhi's 2nd treasury of magical knitting, and from the pictures seems like felting is a big part of that...felted bowls. some pics here

Kitty Licious! Kitty Yum! I thought you were making a whole kitty igloo but I'm sure Uma appreciates your efforts. Actually, I'm sure she doesn't as she is Uma Fatness Kitty. How about one for the Zip Dog now?

Groovy scarf Max! I remember that tray that Uma declared as hers. It does indeed have a lovely design that is permanently obsured by her royal highness. Cat bed looks tres comfy.
