It's another Friday. Looks like we made it... Damnit now I have that Barry Manillow song in my head. o.0 Augh!!!! Now I have to play ot to get it out of my head. Yes Dave, you can look at me weird. Even I question how I have his music on my computer.... either way Looks like we made it!!!!!!!!!!
So I have a point, really... kinda sorta. Earlier today I caught TKK in her little bed using her favorite cat nip toy that her Auntie Cookie made her as a pillow. She was also using the blankey I made her. I asked the honey if he put it on her and he said no. Hmmm Do you think she crawled under the blankey or is my man messing with my spicy brains? I'll have to get them back somehow. I only have so many spicy brains and people can't be messing with them, whether they be cat or man. o.0 I
put the newest sock I'm knitting on the cat to help me document her cuteness.
She became sock curious very quickly. She has a thing for Cabin Cove Yarn. Wants to hug it if you'll recall. :P
I then put the sock on her head, cause that's how I roll.
Did you notice in that second picture that her tummy is shaved. Yeah the fur on my pillow/lungs was becoming too much. I only shaved the sheddy parts she won't let me groom. The rest she's fine having brushed but brushing the tummy is a major no no. Oddly she's okay to have it shaved. Lovesssss the extra snuggles. I swear that cat would live on snuggles 24 hours a day if she could. She really likes to get cuddles when I'm asleep. This severely interrupts my sleep, but what the heck and I supposed to do. I can't say no to an aging kitty. I'm lucky for every moment with her... even the annoying ones that wake me up.
This morning she woke me up by licking my eyelids. Lemme tell ya it only takes one eyelid lick to wake a person up all the way. o.0 Still I loves me this kitty muchly.
The sock I've just started knitting is with Dave's Cabin Cove Yarn in and the pattern Hourglass Eyelet Socks from Magknits. I'm doing the sock on DPN's as I wanna do it that way instead of the circs. I'll try that someday. I just didn't have the needles and I really just wanted to do it on DPN's.
The above pictures show the color of the yarn better. This stuff is glossy and gorgeous to work with. :D I took this close up without flash to show off the pattern so you could see what it looked like.
Clickety Biggety:
I'm really enjoying this pattern. It's much more engaging than basic ribbing and it's still nice n' stretchy. :D
Now to go knit on the sock and torment the honey to see if he did in fact put that blankey over the kitty. ;^)
I printed the pattern for the socks out...fooling myself that I might actually make them. I have some pink Dave yarn that would be great.
Sure..just what I need..one more WIP!

I love that cat and I really like how that sock is knitting up. I guess I'll add that pattern to my list. *L*

I can't believe the kitty let you do that. The sock is looking great.

Omgosh... your cat is SO sweet and looks like she could BITE ya! lol What a cutie! LOVE that picture - well, actually ALL of them. I need to snap a few of Kitty (sans his head in Galen's mouth) and post them. The eyelid lick thing is ABSOLUTELY an eye opener! Yikes!! Kitty licks me now and then and it certainly gets MY attention. He also either sleeps on my feet, or if I've commited some unknown crime against kittyhood, he'll every so now and then Swipe at my feet when I'm sleeping! Little sh*te! *grins*
Love that pattern and color on your socks, too!
