Art From String

This has been one of those days where I feel like I've been busy all day, but there's nothing around to show for it.  Ever had one of those?  Exasperating.

It's mostly all been about yarn, as I've knit a little, then gone through my sock yarns trying to find out what I want to use to start the Travelling Scarf.  Then, since all the yarn was out anyway, I started making Magic Balls --- you know, tying strands of yarn together for a surprise future project.  In a few of them, I'm putting little gifts and goodies throughout.  It will be good to have something on hand for a swap, or just to send to a friend out of the blue.

Speaking of friends, I delivered some baby items to Miss Tamale's (the one who asked for the Boot Count) niece yesterday.

She had specifically asked for the hat, and I added the diaper cover.  She posted this on facebook after she got home:

How much cuter could a baby look in this?  The cat has it going on.
