My kitty, Sam, loves to sleep on the radiator when I take a shower. He gets extra nice and toasty, plus he gets the bonus of being in the same room with me.
After getting out of the shower tonight, I said, "Sam, you think it's time to get into bed?" He said "Meow" and jumped down and ran to the door. Even Sam is tired.
I must say I love my knitting group. They were all supposed to bring finished hats tonight, and I was all ready to take pictures for you... but none of them finished. I think Christmas and gift knitting became priority! We had our meeting today and it was so much fun.
One of them is making the Baby Surprise Jacket, and I must say -- it's very hard for me to understand. I must confess to all knitters, I have never read an Elizabeth Zimmerman pattern until tonight. *hanging head in shame* And I'm wondering - are they all that difficult to understand??

EZ is not at all difficult to understand. Her patterns read more like a list of suggestions than a technical knitting pattern, though. You should give it a try. I started with the Ribwarmer, which is AWESOME, by the way. :-)
He's so cute! If it gets too late at night, my Callie will come and lead me to bed so we can all get some sleep. Kitties are too funny sometimes. I made two EZ Feb baby sweaters and it was definitely different. I made a copy of the pattern and then wrote in stitch and row numbers. It was actually pretty nice. I'm hoping to make a BSJ soon.
I think that if the first pattern I ever read were an EZ, I wouldn't be knitting today. But I loved the BSJ that I made. My sister's son had better love it, too. hehe.
EZ doesn't describes her stuff as a "pattern" but more like "directions" for a garment. If you look at knitting books for the 70's and before, they are kinda the same.
