Day 78, Scarf 78: Blue Skies in Oroville


Well, it seems that my wishful knitting worked! We woke to the sun beaming in the window and a temperature of 15 degrees! The weather was fantastic and after eating breakfast Max and I went on a long walk into town and back. When we returned I started knitting a scarf with blue and white in honour of the beautiful sunny skies.

Day 77, Scarf 77: Hoping for Blue Skies


After spending the previous evening driving to the family cabin in Oroville, Washington Max and I woke up to gray skies on Friday morning. We were so glad to be getting a break from the city but were really hoping that the rain and clouds would disappear. This scarf was knitted entirely with blue yarn in hopes of blue skies to come!

Day 76, Scarf 76: Starry Skies of Manning


This scarf was knitted as we drove through Manning Park at night with the sunroof open. When I looked up to the skies I could see thousands of stars and it was absolutely gorgeous! This scarf was made with 2 balls of forest green yarn and a single ball of baby blue. In my mind I see the blue as the stars and the green as all the trees in Manning Park.

Day 72, Scarf 72: UTI, why, oh why?

This morning I woke to Abby meowing in a strange way and after a bit of detective work (I'll spare you the details) I became suspicious of a possible urinary tract infection. After calling around to many animal hospitals we finally found one that was open and did not require an appointment. We rushed her in but ended up sitting in a waiting room for about 2 hours. The vet agreed that a UTI seemed the most likely cause for her discomfort and expelling of liquids outside the litterbox. Now we have a kitty that is a little bit doped up on antibiotics. I knitted today's blue, red and black scarf while Abby purred lovingly. I hope she recovers quickly...
