Kitty McFurryBritches stalks the sock yarn

Knitting again, even though we are officially past the wool knee socks part of the year. Socks though, they are so small and portable. One could even knit them in the middle of July, when no one in her right mind wants to be covered in wool.

Did you know that Payless sells tap shoes in adult sizes? I think I need some. When I was ten, I was all about tap dancing, and my friend tells me it is one of the most calorie burning activities out there. These are good reasons to rekindle an old flame. Man, I liked tap dancing so much that I would practice while sitting at my desk at school. I don't know how I never got in trouble for it, because it was the complete time step. PS, I can still do wings.

Freckled Hen's Gravatar This is funny and sweet! I'm 37 and have ballet shoes that I only wear when I'm home alone. A girl can dream...even if she's old!

JillyB's Gravatar No need to stop tap dancing! I still take tap classes, and I am currently preparing for my studio's recital. And I am 30. I love the strange looks I get from people when I practice my steps at the bus stop :)

Suzanne's Gravatar Dorie, I took tap dance classes through the Urbana Park District as an adult. It was totally a good time. The only thing I didn't like is that we were expected to perform in a recital with adorable little kids. Adult beginners are not adorable. I do still have my tap shoes somewhere...

Susan's Gravatar I just stumbled upon your blog and love the balance of color between a soft and rich palette.

One of my favorite pairs of shoes is from Payless. I get more compliments on them than the $100 variety.

Chara Michele's Gravatar The Champaign & Urbana Park Districts both have great dance programs... When we were living there I took ballet through both & loved it!

Your kitty is adorable by the way :)
