'Hey Teach!' Cardigan

After a few weeks of knitting and a lot of falling asleep with the needles still in my hands, this little cardigan is finally finished. It should have been very quick to knit up, it was a lovely simple pattern that looks more complicated than it is, but I think sheer exhaustion has taken over lately! It looks just like the pattern picture on Knitty, fits me perfectly and I love it - wearing it now! It's made with a Jaeger yarn which resembles cotton but has angora in it, and I've found that makes it nice and warm, just right for these chilly Autumnal days.

I'm still plugging away at the potato paintings - got a new 'delivery' from the author yesterday, including some weird & wonderful ones - some are deep magenta with a cream stripe around them. I shall definitely show you the finished painting from those! I'm so glad this job is not getting boring - it so easily could have, which with 85 more paintings left to do (steps back aghast...) would have been dreadful.

Also sketching away like mad composing kitten pics for the calendar - luckily my brain is still coming up with composition ideas there, just need to get them approved before setting to with the colour.

Inbetween all that, life goes on. It all seems to be working quite well - meals are cooked, house is clean (for me anyway!), dogs are walked. The mornings lately have been very spooky walking the dogs in thick fog on a deserted field. This morning I was in the middle, unable to see anything further than about twenty feet all around me, just a white wall of mist, when a few swans flew overhead with their wings making that eery whistling noise as they flapped. Too, too creepy! I decided to head back towards civilisation before some fog-crazed lunatic leapt out on me.......overloading on Hammer horror films in my youth has left it's mark!
