I've been in Africa
Every morning and evening I go to Pete's Pond in Botswana. I sit and knit and watch the wildlife come to have a drink. I've seen an ostrich, elephants, lots of different birds, elands, impala, a crocodile, jackals, really big turtles, warthogs and wildebeests. It is very noisy with the sounds of bugs, birds, bats, catfish jumping and animals slurping water. I haven't seen the giraffes, lions, hyenas or zebras yet.
Finished this little sweater for the October campaign for afghans for Afghans. This time they are collecting for children ages 7 to 14. The pattern for this sweater is in Knitting for Peace.
The Minimalist Cardigan is perfect knitting for watching wild animals - lots and lots of moss stitch. The back and fronts are finished and one of the sleeves begun. Eventually the weather will cooperate and get cool enough to wear wool again.
Mimi has been the most faithful regular at Yarn Church. She finished this sweater for her husband, Danny. Yay, Mimi!

That webcam is so cool! Thanks for sharing! I can't believe we can also hear sound of crickets and water splashes, (unless that's fake). And I can't believe it's already dark there, when it's only six or seven o'clock....
The kid's sweater is wonderful, and your cardi will be lovely. Mimi's sweater fits her husband perfectly!
(Oh, and Janice Joplin trumps J.T. and The Boss!)
AWESOME...love that webcam! I think I'm hooked!! Thanks
Okay, I'm now hooked on that webcam! And I just saw a hyena!!
And an elephant!!
Where do you find these sites? And how do you get so much knitting done? And how have you been??
Mary's gone wild with the webcam!
I had trouble with it before, I will try it again.
I like your A4A sweater-someone will be really cute in it.
thanks for the webcam!
Okay, you've created a webcam-watching monster. Last night I saw a mom & baby elephant, a lioness, two zebras and an antelope-thingy. And then I stayed up late and watched the African sunrise and all the birdies that come drink early in the morning. Too fun! Addictive!
Pete's pond is uber-cool and soothing. Thanks so much for the reminder.
I don't know how you knit and watch at the same time.
