by day the blue will pale down into white where it touches the white of the land, after sunset it has a new circumference-orange, melting upwards into tenderest purple. but the core of blue persists, and so it is by night. then the stars hang like lamps from the immense vault. the distance between the vault and them is as nothing to the distance behind them, and that farther distance, though beyond colour, last freed itself from blue. -e.m. forster (a passage to india)

cats and knitting
trying to get a photo of them posing together . .
(while talking with morgan on the phone . . )
after i redid the ribbing, pluto decided my sweater was a perfect place for his nap.
Now that Pluto is older, he's much calmer around my knitting and will just lie on it. Figaro was letting me knit while he rested in my lap this afternoon. He only got rambunctious when a strand would flop in his face. It's interesting how they've gotten used to it.
Morgana is currently working hard on learning several interior design software programs; one for measuring rooms and the other for picking out materials from online and laying it out in the designated areas.
Very mathematical, it sounds! I hope that the programs are not killing all the joy and fun of decorating. I am glad that both cats don't try to unravel everything (or to tear it).
She enjoys all the hand drawing and sketching (and also talking with people and making tangible the idea/themes they wish for) . . the software work is more tiresome, though she did find one of the programs enjoyable.
These two are like lion cubs! How is Morgana doing? Does Pluto try to take your knitting apart?

DeleteI have my sweater put away now :) So far the programs are still interesting, and I think Morgan is getting the hang of it and it's fun.
DeleteGood you put it away, just in case. I thought she was enjoying it when she talked about it, but it also sounded like a lot of work.

DeleteI hope she will get it all finished in the fall (I thought that that was the plan, correct?).
DeleteYes :)
