Pets Can’t Knit

Here’s Carmen, looking very innocent, but seriously thinking about walking all over my blocking Lacy Kerchief Scarf (IK Knits, 2006 Holiday Issue) and making little cat paw dents.   Really, this is about the only way she bothers my knitting – not much of a knitter, that cat.  She doesn’t really bother yarn, or WIPs, but lay something down to block and she’s all up in your business.

The scarf is finished, and I love it.  I’ve always loved this pattern.  I’m not sure why, but I’ve just always known I would make it some day.  Tomorrow we’ll get you some properly modeled shots, with my new haircut :o)

What’s next?  The Cobblestone Pullover, for me (of course!)  I’m using this luscious grey-green Berroco Ultra Alpaca (6291, Yucca Mix).   Mmmm.  And, really, isn’t there just a simple beauty in a perfectly wound cake of yarn?

Layla, on the other hand, she’s all about the knitting.  She loves the yarn, she loves the needles, the loves the WIPs,  she loves the FOs…. we’re constantly saving various forms of knitting from her tiny little puppy teeth.  Oh yeah, she’s quite sure she can knit.  She’s quite sure she can do ANYTHING!   She ‘s not a delicate girly-girly…. um, no.  She’s a yarn stealing, bug-eating tomboy.  But she sure is fun, and CUTE!
