Beyond rectangles

Jump to Comments

Abigail has recovered well from her operation - while I had to whisk her off to the vet once so he could check a swelling under her stitches, a few days of trying to keep her quiet helped, and it looks nicely healed. She has an appointment tomorrow to have the stitches taken out. Unfortunately, both she and Horace presently have little appetite and have had a few bouts of diarrhoea. I eventually realised that this had coincided with their special treat of a pot of cat grass from the nursery over the weekend. I presume that something in the potting mix or on the leaves of the plant is bothering them, and am hoping that after the removal of the pot they will get back to normal. Cleaning up sloppy cat poo is not my idea of a good time, and the lack of appetite is so at odds with their usual voracious hunger that it makes me quite nervy.

One of the secretaries at work is learning to knit, and I’m thinking that it’s getting cool enough to dig out the old needles and start on a few projects for the winter months. Doesn’t that sound impressive, like I’m planning to whip up a wardrobe full of jumpers and hats. I confess that all I can really do is knit rectangles. Big rectangles equal wraps, smaller ones equal scarves. This winter, though, I’m determined to progress a little future - perhaps to knitting in the round (I own double-pointed needles, but have never used them), or maybe knitting something with ribbing. I’m going to my first baby shower this weekend and am presently still puzzling over something vaguely original to take as a gift - what a pity I didn’t get the urge to start knitting a little earlier in the year. I have actually knitted baby booties before - the one non-rectangular project I’ve ever completed.
