All new meaning to the term K1P1 arrived at our house late last week! "Patches" is a 1 1/2 pound kitten who we rescued from a feral mommy. She has been great fun but I have to admit she is a handful when yarn and my wood needles are present. Despite her flurry of jumping and attacking my yarn ball today, I was able to capture her adorable face here. My ball of yarn is bigger than her!!!! She is tiny - fits in the palm of your hand and DEFINITELY is a knitting kitty! She sat with me as I tackled my shrug (see previous posting regarding Decadent Fibers) I knitted for quite a while with her flipping over the yarn - grabbing it and attacking my double pointed wood needle everytime I went to use it! She finally settled right on my lap and purred as I continued to try and decipher this horrendous pattern. The actual work is not bad but the pattern continues to be a challenge and I ended up having to put it away as I need Lucille to help me figure out the hoorendous "code" it is written in for the next step. I really look forward to cold winter afternoons on the weekends with a CALM (ha!) Patches on my lap as I knit. Time to hide my yarn stash I guess!
