New cast-on success

Here it is, Sunday night. It seemed like a pretty short weekend especially since DH and I were working in different locations last week and the situation will be the same this week. Today, we ran errands together--kind of like a date (!) since we had coffee and a snack at Borders--to increase our togetherness ratio to compensate a bit for the time apart during the week(s). Monday, I'll be doing a lot of airport and flying time but still will sleep in my own bed (hopefully) on Monday night. I'm in my own bed tonight, too. Don't ask. I'm just trying to think of all the knitting time I'll have. I'm bringing the Sunrise socks but I have another project that will make the trip with me........

In preparation for Monday, I cast on for Bonnie Marie Burns' Voodoo Wrist Warmers . I tried a new way of casting on for circular knitting as described by Techknitter.


















I followed Techknitter's directions including using the loop for the first cast-on stitch. It worked really well. Really well. Here is the result after a few rounds of following the pattern.

Thanks, Techknitter!

Today was really dreary weather-wise but yesterday was nice and sunny. White Dot found a way to relax in some morning sun on Saturday. This is not an action shot--he was actually hanging off the stool like that for quite a while.

I think I shall try a few of TECHknitter's tips for my next trick... er, MITTEN! This cast-on and the joglessness, especially.
