A little bit productive

Not a heck of a lot going on at the moment… late summer breeds laziness and all. I did recently block a shawl that I finished knitting ages ago:

Citron shawl 

It’s the Citron shawl from Knitty, and it was so boring to knit that I wanted to gnaw my arm off. Cute shawl, but so, so boring to knit. I was thinking I’d make it bigger, since I had three skeins of the yarn, but it was so boring I quit as soon as possible. So, it was tiny, but it grew a lot after blocking. I’m not sure what I’ll do with it yet, since I’m not certain it’s something I’d wear very much. Maybe it’s destined to be a Christmas present or something.

We also organized the (very messy) living room so that Jeff could build a bigger cage for the guinea pigs, so they can live together full-time. (Up until now, they lived in separate cages, and we’d just put them together during the day.)

The piggies' new cage! 

They’re very happy living together!

You haz treats for us? 

And I cast on for a sweater, which is coming along nicely so far:

It’ll be a lacy cardigan when it’s done. Should be great for fall. I hope the yarn softens up a bit after washing, though, because it’s a little scratchy right now…
