What happens if you can get a bunny to lay on her back?
She blisses out, and you can clean her up, or brush her tummy or clip her nails.
Seriously, Twinkie hates to be picked up, but if you can get her into the right position, she just lays there. The vet loves it!
I've been doing a little knitting.
Ene's scarf! I'm up to Chart 3, and into the main body of the scarf. And down to 301 stitches. Seriously, the shrinking number of stitches offers no end of delight to me.
I seem to have startitis. Nat mentioned my sock stash to me the other day, and it gave me a yearning to be knitting socks.
Rox started a dishcloth swap. I've never knit a dishcloth, in fact as far as I know, Sugar n Cream and the like aren't even available in Australia. So Rox kindly offered to send me some. Now I'm looking at dishcloths and looking forward to the yarn arriving so I can jump in and get started.
Meaghan at Yarns Online is now stocking Heartstrings patterns. I want to knit them. All. Now.
She also has Cascade Sierra. I want some of that so I can start Chic Knits CeCe. When do I want to knit it? Now! I bought a cute new dress, and it would be perfect with it.
I feel like a four year old having a temper tantrum. Now, Now, NOW, dammit!!
But I'll be good and finish Ene first. Or Icarus. Or Em's hat.
Or I'll finish something, anyway.
With this in mind, I finally started to finish something that should have been done weeks ago.
Yes, believe it or not, the Nundle sweater is blocking as we speak. Now I just have to get up the nerve to face all the ends.
Em thanks you all for the good thoughts sent her way for the exams. We have to wait for weeks now until the results come back, but she's feeling confident, which is the main thing!

Oh the Nundle Jumper!! It looks great, but I'm with you on the sewing the ends in : very boogelly. Ene's scarf is looking great though. Twinkie is so funny!! She is a big baby!!!
I really like Cece as too, but let's just say I'm not built to wear it!!!!!
I never use the word darling but that what Twinkie is. Ene's scarf looks lovely. Love Heartstrings pattern!
Posted by: Kathleen at August 11, 2006 11:38 PMIf you really feel like you MUST finish something, go with the washcloth. They're pretty fast because they're small. And simple--when the short person had hijacked my brain, all I could knit was washcloths.....would you like some?
Posted by: Cathy at August 11, 2006 11:43 PMOMG, the bunny is soooo cute all slumped like that! I love it! Ene's scarf is looking pretty good. It almost looks like you can just bind off and wear it like a necklack.
Posted by: Evelyn at August 12, 2006 01:23 AMI just want to rub Twinkie's belly!!
Posted by: monica at August 12, 2006 02:37 AMwhat a comfy looking bunny! i sometimes wish that i could get the pupsters to do that, especially when needing to trim their nails. ene's scarf looks like it is going to be lovely.
Posted by: marti at August 12, 2006 05:48 AMI was inly wondering the other day about your Nundle sweater! Good to see it blocking! Did you say heartstrings patterns? I'm off to have a look!
Posted by: Nat at August 12, 2006 04:40 PMohhh i hate ends!!! they always seem to be staring back at me!
love the scarf and I've joined the dishcloth swap too!!!!!
OMG I just want to nuzzle her furry little tummy! How can you stand all that cuteness?
Posted by: Janet at August 13, 2006 01:45 PMGorgeous yarn you are knitting Ene's scarf in - I feel inspired to have a go myself. It will have to wait a bit though, as startitis overtook me recently and I cannot start something until I finish some things on the needles! Thanks for the tip on the shawl - I'll check it out!
Posted by: Ingrid at August 14, 2006 04:01 AMthta scarf looks like its coming along beautifully! Love it!
Posted by: Michelle at August 14, 2006 10:35 AMlol donna - I like the look of CeCe and now I want to knit it too...:-)

Long or short sleeves on the Cece? I must admit to liking the short - what about you?
Three gorgeous pictures ! Keep them coming :0
