LOLCat Friday — with Peppers

Happy Friday. We made it through another week.

I am slogging along on the Tempting Sweater, having attached the sleeves to the body and am now knitting aroundandaroundandaround. 204 stitches per row. Knit 2, purl 2, ad infinitum. Progress is slow. I’m not the World’s Fastest Knitter to start with. Far from it. I greatly admire the knitters who seem to be able to turn out 3 or 4 sweaters during the time it takes me to get ONE finished.1

I slog along. Knit 2, purl 2; knit 2, purl 2.

I am at the stage when one is winding down one knitting project and is feverishly wanting to Start Something Different. Anything. Different. I am doing my best to practice Knitting Monogamy2, but temptations abound. I think my queue over at ravelry is over a dozen items long.

Knit 2, purl 2. Slog, slog, slog.

I will finish this. I only need about 4 more inches before I can bind off and call it finished. I have decided against the Dorky Bow, by the way. Laiane Wolfsong doesn’t do Dorky Bows, but she does seem to have a penchant for outfits that require Hollywood Fashion Tape.

In other news here at Chez Cat Hair, it is Pepper Harvesting Season. The Husband spent 20 minutes in the kitchen garden after work today, and brought in this haul:

Peck of Peppers

Serranos, Hungarian Wax Peppers, and Thai Dragons, a deadly mix. I’m a confessed Spice Wimp and do not partake of hot food. I like highly seasoned food, don’t get me wrong. I’ve been craving Indian food for some time now; it’s just that I don’t consider “Pain” a flavor.

And, finally, it’s time for the LOLCat. I found this guy over at Meme Cats:

That’s it for today, cats and kittens. Time to slog. Errr, knit. Yes, time to knit.

    It takes me more than 3 weeks to knit one sock. I hope this helps you feel better.

    “it’s just that I don’t consider “Pain” a flavor”

    It doesn’t hurt as soon as all your taste buds are dead.
