Ode to a Dead Lizard

Ode to a Dead Lizard

On the path to my front yard I spied,

A tiny lizard who had died.

Oh, little dude, all gnawed and chewed,

I blame my cats, they are so rude.

In other news, we have moved. At last! There are about a metric fuckton of tiny annoying and hugely annoying things that are pressing and or not so pressing right now, thus the lack of blogity blog on my part.

Things like my husband saying, "blah blah, blah, refinance the house, blah, blah, blah, good interest rates, blah blah blah, appraisal in a week or so." Did you catch that last part? Yeah. My husband is a great guy, but I don't think there's any question why I intend to take up slurping vodka tonics for my cardio.

Oh, and he dropped a washer/dryer combo on me last night. I'm only slightly exaggerating here.

Quick -N- Dirty Post

This is what I've been up to:

This is the roving that I've been dyeing.  The temptation to sit and spin this up has been tremendous!  

Here's some of the yarn, all fingering weight.  There's 100% merino, merino/silk blend, and superwash/nylon blend.  Each yarn takes the dye differently, so there has totally been a learning curve involved.

I took these photos this evening, whilst fending off five cats.  That was a trick, let me tell you. Here's Jack trying to weasel his way onto all that lovely wool. 

I can't allow kitty contamination, so I quickly bagged it all up again.  Not such great photos, but you get the general idea.
