Something New and Something Old

 

Over my little blog-cation last week, I did knit, and I actually started and finished a Rondelay.  (I still haven't gotten the ends woven in, but it's blocked.)  It's knit in Madelinetosh Tosh Merino Light in Geranium, which is the perfect shade of coral pink - so summery!  Also, it has superhero qualities:  as soon as I put it on Logan, he immediately began fighting crime cat.  I don't know if Rondelay made him brave or he's tired of Max photo bombing his knitwear modeling sessions, but once I wrapped it around his neck, he was off, chasing Max.

I decided to let Fifi show it off after that.  Here it is with both tails down.

One tail down.

Both tails tucked up.  It's an easy design, and looks best in a yarn with something going on it.  This one was all one color, but the darks and lights show off the shaping better than a true solid would.  It was fun and different and a quick little project.

In big news around Chez Pink Lemon, today Mickael and I are celebrating our 20th anniversary!  It's been fun and wonderful and crazy and weird and sometimes difficult, but it's always been interesting and I can't imagine the last 20 years without my best friend, the love of my life, and partner in crime.  He's an amazing, kind, patient, smart, and loving man with a great sense of humor.  Every day I get to spend with him is a blessing.  Happy Anniversary babe!
