February....

It's been a loony, busy week around here. As is usual for a work week, I didn't get much else done. Now that the work week is over, it's time for a little fun. First was Mardi Gras, Knitting Doctor style. We had Fat Tuesday at our house with a couple of neighbors. We made homemade chicken and andouille sausage gumbo and cornbread for supper, then played a competitive game of dominos to top off the evening. This photo is to prove that I can play Mexican Train and knit socks at the same time.

Note the lovely jewelry that I am wearing in that photo.

There aren't many other knitting photos in this post, so if that's all you came for, you might want to look away now.

Here's a shot I got of Will this morning. He stared intently out that window for over an hour, at exactly the same spot. I finally got up to see what he was looking at, which of course was nothing. He turned and gave me that "see, I made you get up and look, all humans are helpless against my superior powers" look that only cats have.

And now, because I know you all are wondering what the title of this post has to do with anything, other than that I am at least partially oriented:

February is indeed my favorite month. It's time again for Tacoma's bluegrass festival, Wintergrass. It started last night, continues tonight, and all day Saturday and Sunday. I have my sock knitting ready, and a backup plan in the unlikely event that I finish these (this is only the first of the pair). I don't plan on missing a note.
