These Aren't the Hell Your Whales!


First, a quick FO! This is Vertex, a scarf design by Galia Lael of Galia's Spindle Designs. I was lucky enough to get the pattern in my Phat Fiber contributor's box. I used Malabrigo sock in the Persia colorway. I can't even begin to express how much I love this yarn!
I started knitting this scarf the Saturday before our Wednesday trip to Monterey. I had a vision of myself wearing it on our whale watching trip. I finished the body of the scarf just in time, and did the edging when I got back home.


We saw a female humpback whale with her calf! It was pretty awesome.



At dinner that evening I had a bread bowl of clam chowder with a "garlic cheese lid." That was pretty awesome, too.

Saying Goodbye

Yum Yum 6/18/93 - 10/31/08 I am very saddened to tell you that our beloved cat was euthanized yesterday. She was much sicker than we knew. I had her checked into the hospital to try to help her get over a respiratory infection and start eating again. Her vet discovered advanced intestinal cancer on an ultrasound. This is difficult for me because I'd be prepared to do anything to help her, but it was just too late. She had a really good life of 15 years with me, and I think she had a good death. She already had an IV line, so it was quick and peaceful. She was an extremely loving cat, and we miss her very much. It is difficult for us because Yum Yum's situation was so similar to that of Bryan's mom, who passed away in 2007. Unfortunately, we could not spare her from suffering as we did Yum Yum. Anyway, you can see more pictures of Yum Yum here. http://www.flickr.com/photos/buxtrosion/sets/72157608568334063/
