In which I have a non-sock, non-bib FO

I think May was very pleased with how much everyone appreciated her blogging yesterday. Isn’t she a good little helper?! 😉

Kat with a K tagged me with a fun little book meme, so I’ll actually play along for a change.

The Page 123 Meme

  1. Grab the book closest to you.
  2. Open to page 123 and look down to the 5th sentence.
  3. Post the text of the next 3 sentences on your blog.
  4. Include the title and the author’s name.
  5. Tag 3 People.

Ok, I cheated a little bit and didn’t do this at work, which is where I discovered the tag – I’m sure that UNIX for the MS-DOS User would be quite fascinating, but… So, here’s what you get from Lambs of God by Marele Day:

Margarita had an idea. She held the walking stick by one end and thrust it into the car. She managed to hook the handle around the folder and pull it carefully toward her.

I’m sure that will make more sense to me later, since I’m only on page 11 right now… I’m not tagging anyone – play if you’d like!

Since I’ll be meeting the KnitOwl for coffee in a few hours, I thought I’d bring along a little knit owl:

Of course, no knitted item can leave my home without a little feline interaction…

“And if I’m cuter than the big kitty, I’m certainly cuter than a washcloth!” -M

  1. what a cool cabled owl! I’m going to have to start making dish cloths with all of these cool patterns out there.
    Of course, May is adorable as usual.

  2. She really is getting big! What a sweet face, no wonder big kitty is so protective, and my Gandalf is so smitten!

    That washcloth is so cute! I’m sure you’ve mentioned this before – but what do you knit them with?

    (Hey, I have a Microsoft SQL textbook at my desk…does that count?!! 😀 )

  3. I like the cabled owl! I’m sure KnitOwl will love it. Thanks for linking to her blog and the pattern.

    May grows lovelier every day. How is Chaos coping with May’s celebrity?

  4. That discloth is pretty! And I don’t say that lightly.

    Thanks for shout-out about my alternative gramma contest! I’m getting lots and lots of wonderful and often funny entries.

  5. Yeah M is WAY cuter than a washcloth, especially one with a BIRD on it. … Brought that sock to the gym again today…there is an issue around maintaining the pattern and doing the gusset… But I think it’s coming out ok.

  6. Say Hi to RheLynn! That is one cute dishcloth, but CLEARLY not as cute as Mayhem.

    UNIX for MS-DOS users? People still use DOS? I mean, other than me.

    Deb has that meme on her Booking for Thursday link today too.

  7. Thanks for the link, Chris — but one small correction. It’s not a contest, it’s promise…leave a comment and I’ll knit the item (unless I get completely swamped by comments, in which case I’ll still knit as many items as I can, but make a cash donation for the remainder).

    And thanks to everyone who came over & commented!

  8. that could be a bib. all it needs is some ties to put it around a neck!

    I want the pattern too – owls were my alma mater’s animal (for wisdom, of course!).
