Recovering

 Claire is eating well and resting well, and gets up for a peewees on the petsheet, so she feels at ease. She's been having wet food and slurpy vegie soup mainly, with a teeny bit of kibble in the mix. Traditional miso soup base this morning with kelp and fishies together with cabbage, carrots, radish, a hint of broccoli and Chinese cabbage and bean sprouts. Good way to hide the antibiotics and painkiller...Seems to go down well. She just went out for a copious morning dump in the garden, and now she's settled in the beds again and probably feeling good...

 I've been knitting Etta, a cardigan by Dallas Ann Prentis aka The Violet Pie. She was so kind as to offer me the pattern as a gift! Thank you so much for this blessing. It's going to be a beautiful cardigan with a coloured collar, and after the first patterned color section it's just straight up, so I can drop it at any time to tend to Claire. I love the slipstitch pattern and the Noro pops well without being too insistent. The wool is from Rose, the gorgeous indie lys in Tokyo with all own yarns and colours. I bought it thirty odd years now, it's been waiting patiently in my stash, unseen but not forgotten, for this moment.
