I'm northern - gaming, knitting and everyday stuff with cats and being an IT librarian. I'm fannish, but haven't written anything in years. I read SFF books.

Making a simple pasta thing. The other ingredients are falafel, thick yoghurt and tomato sauce.
On a plastic cutting board lies chopped red onion, small tomatoes and feta cheese.

Getting the second lined mitten done. I weirdly started knitting the wrong way around the first two rounds of the liner, but I just switched directions and fudged it. :)

Picture after blocking! Just soaking and line drying. 🧶
A knitted hat in three neutral colors. It has a ribbed folded brim and stylized cat heads. The pattern is called Cat Hat on Ravelry.

Yeah, ok, no climbing yet... Let's try some ornaments. Maybe it's just that the last time I tried setting the tree up, I had a kitten. :)
A plastic Christmas tree with some ornaments hanging from the branches. Fiona, a brown Burmese cat, is sitting on some cat furniture next to it, uninterested in the tree.

Two tea light pots - 10 sek.
Two containers meant to hold tea candles. They look like they would be very pretty with lit candles.

Find of the day: a new in the package ipad cover for 20 sek. Here pictured with my very dirty old one.
An ipad covered by a black fake leather cover. Behind it is the ipad’s original red cover, looking very dirty and worn.

Fiona and Zevran.
Fiona, a brown Burmese cat on my lap, looking like I'm bothering her which I totally am. Her face is very dark but her chest is a little lighter brown. Zevran, a brown Burmese cat, is lying on his back in a work chair, showing his dark face but much lighter brown body.

I am totally doing the advent stuff today instead of tomorrow. People sold saffron buns downtown, and I already had glögg and gingerbread.

Gävlebocken in progress. I walked past it at lunch.
A giant ram of straw with no head. Two curved horns wrapped in red ribbons are on the ground next to it.

Opal is complaining loudly that there is no bird entertainment outside. This is obviously my fault.

Time for work. Snooze on, friends.

Yes Opal, I DID dump you there so I can knit. You are adorable, but I do need to do other things than be your bed at times.
Two Burmese cats in a cat bed. Opal, the platinum one, is lying mostly on her back, looking a little surprised, I think.

Morning through the dirty window.
A view through a window of some houses with a sky just before dawn. A stripe of bright yellow on the horizon heralds the coming sun.

Ok, a serviceable lined mitten. I am getting tired of Zevran ruining them, let me tell you. This time I only used yarn I have no relation to.
A light blue knitted mitten with a multicolored band around the wrist. There is a structured pattern on the back. The lining of the mitten pulled out beyond the cuff, showing it in white/yellow with little dots of different colors. Folding the mitten back, wearing it, toshow there’s lining inside.

I am aware, Zevran, that this yarn is not perfect, but you still can’t chomp it.
Three Burmese cats are keeping me company. Two are in my lap, and one, Zevran, is lying on a blanket a little distance away. He wants to bite the yarn cake next to my thigh, but cannot.
