http://www.foundhismittens.com three little kittens, they lost their mittens... Sun, 25 Jul 2010 20:13:26 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en I know I try to keep this blog to facts only.  Facts about my projects, facts about my trips, pictures of my cat, boring boring facts.  It's far safer that way for everyone. But after watching yet another season finale of Doctor Who, I find myself wanting to write down some ... http://www.foundhismittens.com/?p=1018 I took a two day bus trip to Ohio to see Father Corapi last week.  It was a fun trip.  The other people on the bus were sure characters.  I could write a book about the bus trip all by itself. Like the woman who must have talked about Scott Hahn ... http://www.foundhismittens.com/?p=990 Another year, another Zoo Day.  I had fun.  I got some nice shots I couldn't get last year.  It was hot, and I only stayed about four hours. Ohhhh pretty! Funny, the female doesn't seem to be impressed. This aquarium button on my camera came in handy. Unfortunately, just after this picture my ... http://www.foundhismittens.com/?p=979 There are three new baby lemurs at the zoo.  Apparently they are little enough to still climb out of the cage.  They have a human babysitter hired to wave an net around to scare them back inside.  It didn't work too well. This little guy played with his mom... Then made a ... http://www.foundhismittens.com/?p=980 I got a new rice cooker today. It'll steam foods too.  So I'm throwing out my old one.  The new one, by Black & Decker, is the HS1000 and gets a lot of great reviews online, as does the smaller HS800.  It's so much lighter than the old one that ... http://www.foundhismittens.com/?p=945 I'm still working on the afghan.  Slowly.  Lots of colors in it.  Just some examples here. http://www.foundhismittens.com/?p=944 I don't really have anything to say about Holy Week.  Maybe I'll think of something and add it here. I'm playing on Facebook too much, and took a bunch of pictures of Bailey laying on the monitor and patiently waiting for me to pay him attention. I've slowly worked on my Lenten ... http://www.foundhismittens.com/?p=935 My Lent charity project of sorts: The right side is to the left, the underside is to the right.  Too small for Bailey at this point, but he kindly agreed to be in the picture to provide scale. I just finished a pair of mitts, adult size.  I used a simple mitt ... http://www.foundhismittens.com/?p=934 I'm still working on this set... as you can see, the mitts don't match.  I think I'm about to unravel the one on the needles and try again.  Each mitt was made with a fresh ball of yarn, and since the yarn started with green and turned into purple, I ... http://www.foundhismittens.com/?p=922 This is my third snobuddy.  I made them with Debbie Bliss cashmerino aran with various other odds and ends.  Almost everything was wool, with a small bit of acrylic yarn. There are two different sorts of black yarn, both acrylic.   This guy I made just as the instructions said, no ... http://www.foundhismittens.com/?p=920
