How does one start to resurrect a blog? I suppose posting to it helps so here goes nothing after a year and a half.

Fuzz - action cat - hunting the
ever elusive garden flamingo
prior to domestication.

I’m still knitting and dying yarn albeit not as much as I’d like. I really came to stand still with Hansen Hand Dyes in the fall when my father passed away. I really haven’t felt particularly creative since then. Of course, with spring comes rebirth and new life.

My husband and I came to care for some feral cats in the neighborhood over the winter. In fact, we took in the only surviving kitten from a summer litter. She’s kept us busy and is turning in to a lovely indoor cat.  

36 hour old kitties!

Fuzz's mother was pregnant over these past couple of months and just gave birth 36 hours ago! I’ve counted six kittens for sure, possibly seven, though it is hard to tell as they move about as a big squirming pile of cute fuzziness at this point. It’s our hope to take them to a shelter for adoption when they are ready. We'd also like to capture the mama cat and have her spayed in an effort to help control the feral population.

Frog Hollow Rodeo - Bounce Sport

In addition to new kitty life I spent a little time in the yarn cave this weekend and breathed some new life into Hansen Hand Dyes. I dyed a couple of sport weight skeins in the colorway Frog Hollow Rodeo; this is one of my favorites that I dye. I love the varied bright shades of green. One of these days maybe I'll actually knit with it!

Wrong Turn - Bounce Sock

I was all set to dye a new colorway and had it all planned out when I added the wrong dye solution to the dye pot. I cursed a bit and then decided just to go with it and voila, I call it Wrong Turn. Sometimes wrong turns provide the most delightful surprises.

Here’s to a future filled with amazement and wonder from making wrong turns.
