Ella's More Exciting Than My Knitting

Ella had some friends over last weekend, and she wanted me to show you all!
From left to right: Amos, Ella and Kenni.
If you look close at Ella's tail, it's blurry! She's so happy her friends were over to play! Actually they all took a long walk together, and then crashed on the floor (all over the house) exhausted!
Hope all have a great weekend and lots, and lots, and lots of knitting gets done (that's directed at me!).

Ella (Dogs on Thurs.) and a Hat

a sleepy ella with her fox

Love this hat!

Saw this hat here, and couldn't resist. I had this yarn in my sock stash. It's Opal, neon, a very springy color! (Pardon the wrinkly look, I haven't blocked it yet as I wanted to wear it right away!) I did have a couple of modifications: used #2, #3 and #4 needles, and did one extra repeat of the lace pattern. I'm glad that I did, because I do like a hat to cover my ears. It's been unseasonably windy and cool here in the desert, and I have worn this to a late-evening, windy little league baseball game!
Here's the Ravelry link: Springtime in Philidelphia Canopy.




And, last of all, Ella looking particularly cute posing for the camera. Shows her grey muzzle. (Her tail's blurry because she's wagging it! Her tail never stays still!)
The hat helped me get back on track of my sloooow knitting. I'm still working on the whisper cardi, but it's going a little faster now! And still working on my skirt!
