Another orphan sweater ready to go

Ok, so it still needs blocking. But all seams are sewn, and the pocket is placed. Blue Moon's Blueboo with Cascade dark gray. Two rows of gray and one of varigated. You need a circular needle to do this if you are using only two balls of yarn and knitting stockinette flat. The sleeves are alternating rows. Again you need a circular needle. I'm wondering what else I can do with a circular needle, knitting across a row, then pushing the work back and knitting across the row again with another color/ stitch pattern / ???

If you enlarge the picture you will see some little harbingers of spring snuggled up under the out-stretched arm. Go ahead. Click on the picture. I'll wait. Dumdeedumdum. Dumdeedum. Yep. Those are violets. These are purely volunteers. I have no idea how they got there, but good luck to them!

(sings) "Sweet vi-olets. Sweeter than all the roses. Covered all over from head to toe. Covered all over with - - - sweet vi-olets!"

For dinner last night, DH fixed me a delicious dinner of poached cod and steamed rice with herbs and good flavors. We eat in front of the TV. I sat down, and Jack decided that the fish was all his. Your life is not complete until you have been mugged by a three-legged, half-blind, geriatric cat. You 've got to give him credit for high hopes, determination, and cunning. I finally relented and gave him the last few forkfulls. OH did he chow down. The fish fairly flew off the plate. As for the rice, well it's amazing how he can suck off all the fish flavor without actually eating any of the rice. He was a satisfied old cat last night. May I have as much success in getting my way when I'm old and feeble. May we all!
