hat for a cat

once upon a time there was a free knitting pattern on ravelry 

for a precious cat hat, which i made once & sent to my dear friend

 maggie's cat moozima-moonflower in the mail to montréal

yesterday i tried to find that pattern but it has since been taken offline

so i winged it, and made soosee a wee pink bonnet

(see the reluctant model above)

once i adjust my pattern & get it right

i will post it on here, for you to make too

until then, you can purchase your own fancy cat hat from etsy sellers

scooterKnits or bitchKnits

apart

i hate goodbyes...who doesn't?
im the friend who would rather 'ghost-out' at a party than say goodbye
and i work myself up in anticipation of big sad goodbyes that can't be avoided

september had me dwelling on big sad goodbyes

i said goodbye to a life-long best friend, who is from melbourne

she was based out of montréal for some time this year

and i was lucky to see her three times during

i truly don't know when and where we will meet again

but in my heart i know that we will

she is really something special

i said hello to my loves in port stanley this past week
who i see about once a season

each visit always feels too short...but acts as a turbo boost of love
 each goodbye we have has me dreaming of moving in next door to them







i said goodbye to my bestfriend/life-love/roommate

...until december he's touring the continent

this change is especially hard...

but instead of dwelling on the big sad goodbye 
i anticipate the big happy hello...its one of the best feelings in the world
