Many of you have heard about our bathroom remodel. After hanging the mirror/medicine cabinet and new light fixture, I decided it was time to post before and after pictures. I am so appreciative of my dad and my husband for working so hard to make this happen. I absolutely love my new bathroom especially my new tub!
Before:
Notice the lovely floor and wall covering!
And now After:
There are a few more things to be done before the project is finished, but we are on the final stretch.
In knitting news, I’m still working on my sweater. I’ve almost finished the body. I will post pictures soon.

I am making steady progress on my sweater, trying it on as I go. I’m very happy with it so far. Now I have miles of 2×2 ribbing to finish the body of the sweater and then on to the sleeves. Here is what I have done so far.
Because I need to do an impulse cast on occasionally, I did a little project yesterday. I saw it and couldn’t resist. My cats (especially Sassy) love to play with my yarn. I decided it was time to make them their own toy.
And how do they like it, you ask? Well, judge for yourselves…
Ah the crazed look of a stoned kitty. We’ll see if he lets Sassy play with it. He played so hard his hair came out. Good thing tomorrow is Friday.
Have a happy weekend!

I have a few new projects that I would like to share with everyone.
The first is a linen towel for our guest bathroom. Linen is a fiber I haven’t worked with yet and it is a very interesting one. I like the feel of it in my hands even though it is a little stiff. I understand that the more it is washed the softer it will get. The pattern is a little fussy so I can only do it for small periods of time before I get irritated with the counting. This is the Moss Grid Hand Towel from Mason Dixon Knitting.
Sorry this picture is a little dark and slightly blurry. Surprisingly, it was the best of the two that I took.
The second thing I am working on is baby booties. Everyone I know that is having a baby is having a boy. I haven’t made any baby booties yet so I embarked this weekend when I needed a mindless project. I think these are turning out to be pretty cute. This pattern is Christine’s Stay-On Baby Booties.
I finally got around to felting the slippers I was working on. I used Cascade 220 for these and it felted very differently than the Patons Merino. They are very cute and I am keeping them. How terrible is that??
And last, but definitely not least, I started a sweater for me!! I am so excited about this project. Someone very near and dear to me sent me a donation for my sweater so that I could buy the yarn. The yarn is Cascade Eco Wool in Silver and it is beautiful. I am doing a ribbed pullover with a shawl collar. We will see about the collar because I have never done one before and don’t really have a pattern for one. But I’m sure I can figure something out. Here is what the yarn looks like.
It is undyed Highland Peruvian 100% Wool. There is some black in with the silver that makes it so unique. It is a soft wool and will be even softer when I wash it in Eucalan.
I hope everyone is surviving February.
~Happy Knitting!
