One Down, One To Go

Slouchy socks

I have finished my first sock in the colorway Don't Procrastinate, Delegate To Your Future Self!  I decided to knit these socks from opposite ends of the colorway, so I'll have fraternal socks, not identical.  I didn't make it into the dark purple shades on the first sock (I should have added more rounds to the leg, apparently), but after some looking, thinking, considering, rethinking, and just generally overthinking about if and how and where I should start the second sock, I just cast on at the end of the dark purple and went for it.  

Slouchy Fade, take 2

They're socks.  No one is going to die if I don't match everything perfectly.  Sometimes I have to remind myself not to overthink things.  As you can see, Mr. Noodle has inspected things and he had no complaints.

When he's not inspecting knitting, he's getting Obi in trouble.  He's also getting Obi stuck under the bed, which is something he used to do (and Max did too) to Logan.  First he gets the dog to chase him, then he runs under the bed and the silly dog falls for it, and goes under after him.  Unfortunately for the dog, there's not very much space under there, so while Mr. Noodle just runs under and out the other side, the doggy hasn't even gotten all the way under before The Noodle is out the door, down the hall, and on to other cat activities.  Then Obi realizes there's just no point and lays under the bed because he knows he'll never get the cat.  Why our dogs have never figured this out before they go under the bed, I don't know.  (As soon as I took the above photo, I took the yarn out of his mouth.  I know better than to let him actually eat it.)

I've also been doing some sewing and while I don't have anything finished yet, I'm working on a pair of Eastwood Pajamas for Caleb and an Oak Leaf for Mr. Noodle.  I will definitely get photos when I'm finished!

Ah, dear Newton is a beautiful, clever boy.
He is like most cats I know, all of them being extraordinarily intelligent!
