It’s been a loony, busy week around here. As is usual for a work week, I didn’t get much else done. Now that the work week is over, it’s time for a little fun. First was Mardi Gras, Knitting Doctor style. We had Fat Tuesday at our house with a couple of neighbors. We made homemade chicken and andouille sausage gumbo and cornbread for supper, then played a competitive game of dominos to top off the evening. This photo is to prove that I can play Mexican Train and knit socks at the same time.
Note the lovely jewelry that I am wearing in that photo.
There aren’t many other knitting photos in this post, so if that’s all you came for, you might want to look away now.
Here’s a shot I got of Will this morning. He stared intently out that window for over an hour, at exactly the same spot. I finally got up to see what he was looking at, which of course was nothing. He turned and gave me that “see, I made you get up and look, all humans are helpless against my superior powers” look that only cats have.
And now, because I know you all are wondering what the title of this post has to do with anything, other than that I am at least partially oriented:
February is indeed my favorite month. It’s time again for Tacoma’s bluegrass festival, Wintergrass. It started last night, continues tonight, and all day Saturday and Sunday. I have my sock knitting ready, and a backup plan in the unlikely event that I finish these (this is only the first of the pair). I don’t plan on missing a note.
The Queen of Bluegrass. Yes.
I can so see the cat thinking that. Do you get extra credit for accurate translation of cat thought?
I saw Wintergrass in the “Events” section of the paper yesterday, and I thought of you. I hope you’re enjoying it. Sounds like a great time to knit!

Oh, and my cat, Fala, looks *exactly* like Will and has that same skill of looking at the same thing for hours. We think it’s probably because there’s so much empty air “upstairs” that she can fill up with almost anything. . .or nothing. She comes running in the morning when I open the blinds so she can gaze out at the backyard. Again.
Sweetest cat ever, but not really the sharpest knife in the drawer!
Have fun! I’m looking forward to hearing all about it. :0)
I hope you’re having a great time!!
“Way to go, Will!” sez Chaos…
ah ha – another black cat owner 🙂 We’re just popping up all over the place.
Have fun at Wintergrass – and love that tiara btw.
Fab jewels! You wear them well. Cute cat..
Wonderful Fat Tuesday at chez doctor!! My mother introduced us to Mexican Train dominoes some years ago. But, my husband hates the game. I still play with my daughter and mom when she visits!
Will looks striking! Have a ball at the festival my queen! Your socks remind me of spring, nice!
Sounds like fun! And about your cat, I used to have a cat, and it did all sorts of stuff like that, too!
I love that pic of Will, total concentration!
Pretty sock too, looks like you’ll have a ton left over!
Enjoy the festival!
Will is so handsome! Cats do act as if they have superior powers and maybe they do..,
Can’t wait to hear about the festival!
No, I have 11 now. Well 12 if you count this one as 2. Since the name and the artwork don’t touch, it could be seen as 2.
Thanks for asking and looking.
🙂
The world must be an entertaining place from the perspective of the feline, that’s for sure. Have a great weekend. Can’t wait to see the finished pair, the color is sooooo spring.
Wow! The bluegrass festival looked awesome!!! I have not listened to your “what I am listening to” but plan to soon!! Any other favorites I should listen to!
Hope you and uncle john are doing great!!

Did you notice that the yarn you show in the first post almost exactly matches the sunset in the previous post? Delicious!
