OK, I have tried to upload a picture and so far I haven't seen it.
I feel like it may be flying about in cyberspace.
Sure hope it isn't stuck on someone else's blog...they'd scream!
So, since I am here, I will tell about the Afghans for Afghans charity that a group I belong to is knitting for. My contribution so far is a kid's vest done in dark gray heather and purple wool. It is simple and I like making the pattern because you can add stitches or color to change it. A possibility of maybe stripes, of scraps of wool.
The A4A knitting is for families but mostly the kids. Some folks are making afghans and blankets. This is a75% wool based knitting project because it is so cold there.
I think about my ideas of colors and because of the strife there, I see dark colors. The laundry facilities are non existant in many areas, so we are using dark colors. Maybe one day the vibrant colors will come to my mind and settle in a spot that I can be comfortable with.
The original colors of thier weaving gives you a very clear picture that at one time they were happy and I am sure if given a chance we will soon see colors flashing in crafts and clothing to show joy!
Interesting that COLOR is such a strong way of expressing feelings!
Wear red, go dancing...even if it is in your own living room!

Enter: Two Bengal Kittens
Wandering Mind: It's really wandering now...
Enter: Two Bengal Kittens!
Somehow my kitten information was lost in a blog swirl/storm.
Have had them since early October.
They are now 6 months old and are too neat for words. If you love kitties, you know exactly how we feel about them.
We decided at the loss of our old companion Twinkie, that we would get a boy kitty, as *she had recently left us. I thought it would be easier to have a boy. Not as many memories.
[*At 17+, it was her time.]
Drove to the kitten's cattery, went in... wanted all the kittens we saw. Finally decided on one boy, drove away.
Got as far as the second block...backed up to the cattery. Went in and brought the little sister of the boy kitten which we had already gotten. He is the largest of the litter and has grown quite large, and she is the runt and still small, but a she-devil.
She is the agressor!
They are named Tiger-Roo and Lily-Woo
I will tell more about these loving companions in my next wandering.
Oh yes, they are learning to leave the knitting alone. I bring it out in the evening, when they are sleepy.
Maybe it is me who has learned about knitting...do it at the optimum cat nap time!
