Knitting for the cats

Here are some of the covers I have knitted for the cats these past months. They are very much appreciated.

baby hat

You may remember the baby hats I made during the New Year's holiday, in connection with a campaign at work.

I did some similar knitting for the newborn baby of a friend.

Result is really cute, if I dare say so....



The pattern, if anybody is interested, can be found here:

Adjust based on the baby's size.

update

Procrastinating here (should be doing something else, really)...

OK, things I want to concentrate on during the following months:

• Start of my new volunteer activity as AFWJ's webmaster (from April)
• Hand over the AFWJ Journal position and stuff (mid April)
• UoL exams in May
• Study the 3 AA courses I have now received
  

Things I would like to do (as in more regularly)

• Creative writing in French
• Practice Reiki, use crystals
  
• Knitting --> am actually doing it more or less regularly
  
• Sewing clothes, using Pattern making software
• Study Japanese with Kumon
  
• Read more German books, mags
• Finish BA in French --> will take me 2-3 more years maybe
  
• Start Boniface Translation course --> planning to apply this spring
  
• Painting, drawing, bookcoloring
• Expand my freelancing
• Read more French books, mags --> found a site where I can upload French mags for a fee (http://www.virginmega.fr/)
  
• Try to read Japanese books, magazines
• Update homepage + blog --> updating blogs regularly (=good); will work on the homepage once I get the new software
  
• German diploma (maybe the Zentrale Mittelstufenpruefung) --> goes in the "long term project" category
  
• AFWJ Journal (February and April 2007) --> February done, April soon done
  
• Use French regularly --> kind of doing it at work now
  

Things I would like to do someday:

• Learn to play guitar
• Learn to play piano
• Learn Italian
• Learn Spanish

Actually looking forward to summer

Yes, I know, nobody sane would be looking forward to Japanese summer (it's so hot and humid) ...

But I do have good reasons:

• Hay fever, to be more precise: Japanese sugi tree allergy
• The air is so dry in winter: my skin, eyes, throat, lungs etc are just in need of humidity
  
• Super busy March with my last AFWJ Journal (April edition)
• April looking only slightly better, with handing over of the Journal editor job to the new volunteer (including writing up the making of a Journal)
• Starting on my new volunteer job as the AFWJ Webmaster (will get the software, files and others later this month) and getting to know the new software
• BA in French exams in May and ideally study for the exams before the exams themselves

Since I have to FOCUS, I decided to postpone (again) the application to the translation certification program. I will get there, eventually.

busy busy busy ...



PS oh, by the way, I did finish my poncho. Looks not bad. And is warm too. A little too casual for work, though (it was originally meant to be worn on light spring clothing.

(picture taken on the old kotatsu that never worked and that should really be thrown away---isn't Momo cute, checking the poncho ?)

(my messy crafts room/corner in the back---this room hasn't seen me much these days---it will soon be time to work again on summer pants/trousers --> one more item on the TO DO list)
