oyceter | Picture spam: rats and knitting

The leaf lace scarf I made for

vom_marlowe. The yarn is a hand-dyed silk from ArtYarns, and my camera in no way captures the depth of the color or the subtle variations in it.

I modified the design somewhat to make the columns between the leaves purl instead of garter, so the opposite side would have wavy knit columns.

Ed-rat and Al-rat lazing about.

Ed-rat timidly creeps to the door...

And steals food. I swear, by the way these guys eat, you'd think I was cruelly starving them.

Al-rat! Whiskers!

Ren gobbles down food.

Al-rat steals food.

Al-rat, lurking. He is much fatter now!

Ren pretends he is a blogging rat.

Rats bravely venturing out of the safe blanket. These two guys are so funny! They scamper back under cover at any scary noise (i.e. if I sneeze).

Ed-rat is a little braver than Al-rat, even though Al-rat can beat him up more easily.

Exploring the world of my bed.

Al-rat peeks out.

Rat brothers!

Ed-rat begging for food.
