Topic: The baby girl
I forgot to mention the outcome of Chaos' first vet visit. We knew she had a respiratory thing because of all the sneezing, but didn't know she had worms. She supposedly received a deworming when they got her at the pet store, but she still had em, so she had to take the nasty 1/2 pill. And she is on antibiotics. But other than that, the vet says she is healthy and obviously well loved. She was very sleepy last night but was bright and perky by this morning. Pictures tomorrow, I promise.
I measured the gauge swatch for the boy's sweaters and couldn't get it right. 17 sts/4 in rather than the 20 I need - and I was using size 4 needles with worsted weight yarn! I don't get it. Anyway I tried making another swatch with some thinner cotton that I had laying around and I got gauge, but it wasn't what I really wanted. I want to make them nice warm sweaters and the cotton just wouldn't cut it - too loose. So I am going back to the acrylic and make them at the new gauge. I'll just use the directions for the sweater 1 size smaller than I need and tweek it as necessary. This should be fun...
