welly socks (and a brief Jones update)

So, firstly, Jones had his MRI scan today and it all went splendidly. The neurologist said he took the anaesthetic beautifully and - crucially - didn't have a seizure during proceedings. And everything looks perfectly normal! No tumors, lesions or water where it shouldn't be. Just cat brain. Which is great news. Of course, we're no closer to understanding what is happening with him but there's only 3 more things to test for and then we're at the epilepsy diagnosis. Which is what happens when everything else has been ruled out. He's still fitting (one after his anaesthetic despite being under a powerful anti-seizure drug, which is a bit worrying) and he's staying in the hospital another night. And we will need to find a successful cat/drug combo. So we're not out of the woods yet, but at least there's a path. Thank you for all your cheerleading!

And back to the crafty stuff. I finished my Icelandic yarn boot socks!! Whoop!

This wool yarn was bought in Reykjavik in December 2014 when Spouse took me there for my 40th birthday. It's itchy and scratchy (I remember the Icelandic jumper I had as a girl. Torture!) so I thought boot socks to go over normal socks would be perfect. They are super cosy!

The pattern has k2ts and SSKs at different places every other row to give that pretty leaf-like pattern. Easy to do but quite pretty.

And that's another finish on my finish-along proposal. Go me!!
