I got some nice looking cat designs from Nic. Aren't they lovely? Hopefully I will get one of it on a T-shirt.

I had wanted to try Kool Aid dyeing for a while, and when I got several balls of unnamed white wool when a friend of mine was destashing, and Sinead was leaving for the US in a few weeks for holidays. What better opportunity to try! I asked her to bring some sachets, and I got them this week in the Borders Knit and natter evening. So, Saturday night I got to it. I first studied the instructions, and put the wool for a bath (pic 1).

finished and sent off some Calorimetries and a cat bed to Ompelukerho . I got the Calorimetries' designers approval for making several of them and selling them for charity. The cat bed might be given as a present to an animal shelter (based on Princess Snowball catbed from S'n'B Handbook).

I hope they get some money for the animals with my knits!

Look what Nic did! We got a bread baking machine some time ago, and it's great! The smell of fresh bread, the easiness, the fun of it doing it togehter - a good purchase. 

Katsohan mitä Nic teki - hankimme leipäkoneen jokin aika sitten, ja se onkin ollut yksi parhaista ostoksista aikoihin.

In Dublin (Latitude 53 degrees North, Longitude 6 degrees West), middle of November, when the trees have lost their leaves and it frosts in the night, on our neigbour's garden, I saw two roses blooming.
