week in Missouri; knitting update

This week I've been in Missouri to celebrate dad's birthday and hang out with grandma. Tomorrow dad and I go to New Orleans to help with rebuilding; we'll be there for about a week. We're staying here.

In the meantime, though, we put grandma to work. (Don't worry, I helped too.)


I've also been knitting some baby hats, since so many friends are expecting babies this summer:


And here's a picture of the next one, in progress:


As is always the case when I get out the knitting, the cat was not far behind.


I also posted an amusing video of her fascination with yarn here. It's a bit long, but I find it amusing. I think I find her amusing because for 23 hours of the day she basically can't stand the sight of us. The other hour is spent asking for food or wanting the door to the backyard open, plus five minutes per day of wanting her head scratched, after which she bites you. She's a very odd cat.
