Posted under cats & miscellaneous
There are so many little things happening, so instead of trying to artfully tie them all together I’ve compiled a list of all the goings on.
- In a mad rush to finish knitting, I accidentally knit a sock for my mother. Ah well, I had been meaning to knit a pair for her. I’m frantically knitting the second sock so I can go back to selfishly knitting socks for myself.
- I have learned to never leave my Forest Path Stole laying around with live stitches on a DPN. Can you say “disaster waiting to happen”? Yes, I accidentally ripped out the DPN that had the live stitches of a Lily of the Valley block in progress. All is well now, but it was a sticky mess for a moment there.
- Bosco* accidentally caused Cookie the Cat a trip to the doctor. It appears she has a UTI, which probably was brought on by all the stress. She’s a peaceful cat who only asks for a little peace in return, only Bosco is anything but a peaceful cat. He really meant no harm, but Cookie is spending the day at the doctor and will hopefully come home with a simple diagnosis and some antibiotics. I’m a little worried that it might be something more, but I’m trying to maintain a positive outlook.
- I woke up with a ratty ball of acrylic yarn in my bed. No, I did not purposefully go to bed with yarn. I suspect that Bosco rooted it out from the depths of
hellthe storage room and carried it in. I do believe the boy is developing an affinity for the fiber. Thankfully he’s going for the cheap stuff.
- Finally, I learned how to make captions from the ever clever Crazy Aunt Purl. (Thank you so much Laurie!) I obviously still need to iron out the details and work on my technique, but I’m getting there! I guess the accident here is that I forgot to figure out how the words would scrunch up when I resized the picture. Gah! Cookie’s caption reads “taking a break from the chaos”, for those of you that don’t have Batman vision.
*Neighbors are still AWOL. Just in case you were wondering. Again, thank you for your continued support! You all are the bestest!
