My Name is Harley!

I want to thank everyone for their comments and emails and suggestions on a name for this little cutie!  There were some really great suggestions, and it was a difficult choice.  In the end, the one name that I just kept coming back to was Harley.  This little fella is all dressed in black, he zooms around everywhere he goes, and he has a really loud motor.  If that isn't the definition of a Harley, then I don't know what is!  When I took him to the vet for his shots last week, she told me that little Harley is going to be a long haired kitty.  So we are trying to get used to being brushed at this early age, but is not going very well.  He can't sit still long enough!  

Knitting progress is a bit slow right now, thanks to the turbo charged ball of fluff that loves to "help" me knit!  Mostly what I have been doing is planning the rest of the presents that I had not already decided on and digging through my "Outta Control Yarn Stash" looking for the perfect yarns to use.  I have been able to make Jackie's scarf for her granddaughter, add the fun fur trim to Kayla's baby poncho, and start one of the Farmer's market felted tote bags.  I will take knitting pictures next, I promise! 

I am going to my LYS this afternoon to look for some more yarns for some more Christmas presents.  I know, I know -- what in the world am I doing going shopping for MORE yarn when I already have an "Outta Control Yarn Stash"??????  I have a good reason!  I want to make a scarf for my niece Megan for Christmas using the Laser FX yarn by Berrocco.  It has little sequins in it, and since sequins are so popular this year, my niece the little Fashionista Diva will be right in style!  Also, I was thinking of getting some more Noro Kureyon to do another Booga Bag for a present.  I am not sure about that, though.  And I need some more double pointed knitting needles.  I am test knitting a pattern for Spunknit (see her blog, Innane Knitting Babble in the link to the right), and believe it or not, I do not have the correct size double pointed knitting needles!  I have just about every other size, but not the one I need!  (at least they are not where I can find them -- they are most likely tucked away in a bag in my "Pile Of Undone Projects!") There are a few other odds and ends that I need to get, but those will probably come from Michael's. 

Well, I will return with knitting pictures soon!  Right now, I have a trip to the LYS to make!  Yahoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
