I finally finished a second Kata Felicity Scarf from Mindful Knitting today:


For this one, I used Rowan Kid Classic in Shade #845 "Battle." It's not nearly as soft as the Knit Picks' Andean Silk, but I love it all the same. This one is staying with me. Finally.

The girls (both of them!) had their first day of the school year this past Tuesday. Here they are that morning, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed:

My oldest is five now, and she's starting kindergarten. Youngest is three (turning four in October,) and she's started preschool. They both love their school, are doing well, and are making new friends. I'm just trying to get used to having extra time on my hands (which is why this will be followed with two more new posts.)

I figure it's time for something of an update on what's been going on around here. I've been busy - I might have mentioned that a few dozen times? Having one kid in school - just one! - makes time fly like you wouldn't believe, unless you've been there.
On the tea front, I have a beautiful new setup for gongfu cha that I really need to get some photos of.
On the craft front, I've been happily folding away with my new origami papers and books. Yet another thing I need to get pictures of. The scarf is coming along more slowly now. I usually knit while watching TV, but we've been watching mostly subtitled foreign-language stuff lately, and I find it hard to split my attention between reading subtitles and knitting. Hopefully I'll finish this gosh-darn scarf before next winter. But don't hold your breath.
