I’m working on Girasole. Have been for a while now. I’m about 3/4 of the way done chart D and it’s taking forever! I am cringing at the thought of having to double from 320 stitches to 640. The pattern is genius, though, so at least I’m enjoying the knit!

Still shuddering when I think of accodently picking up an oppossum. They are some scary looking and hiss at you. The raccoons wander the city at night like the everyday residents they are. They don’t even bother to run or hide.

Enough wildlife talk. Those are really cute mugs. I love tea and coffee so I appreciate a nice mug.

Wow! My heart’s a-flutter! I just caught the Wollmeise extra-sneaky sneak up and scored 2 skeins!!!!!!!! I’m no longer a Wollmeise Virgin!!!!!

Whew! I was going to say, yeah, things have been less productive lately due to a strange inability to maintain my concentration. That has not stopped me from starting *Yet Another* shawl! It gets me, though, when I think things are knitting right along, then 2 rows later, I find a mistake and have to rip out all that I had accomplished so far in that sitting.

I saw the Girasole last week on ravelry, bought the pattern and it has become my next conquest. I am just having a hard time deciding on the yarn to use and then the color. I am thinking lorna’s laces sport, so i have a warm shawl. What are you making yours with?

The mugs are adorable, as is the mug rack, but my focus is on the two big containers of candy next to the coffee maker. Now that is what I call an employee benefit – how can I get a job as an elf???

I am not sure I would have a problem with the possum, but I am pretty happy that the wildlife near where I live are mostly birds and really cute bunnies.

Love the photos of the wildlife. Aren’t chipmunks the funniest little things? Their movements are so much like birds except for the flying bit.

I think we need a mug rack like that! Can you spare WH for a week or two?

Great sneak up, as in so many lovely new goodies I don’t know where to start!

Looks like my yard. You forgot pictures of the birds. I have the world’s fattest robbins this year! They like to pick on Salty Dog.

Not making a girasole yet, I need to make the ammonit first. But I think girasole is going to be added to my list of things to make. And I’m particularly happy because they offer an option for those of us who can not download it from Ravelry.8-) I certainly appreciate the consideration.
