Backstory
- Julie
- Pennsylvania, United States
- I'm currently a stay at home mother, freelance writing on my off time, wondering how I became part of the ten thousand year old tradition of raising the kids while creating textiles. I grew up in NE Ohio dairy country, married a sailor, lived in Hawaii ten years, lived in SC for five years, then moved back to culture shock and confusion. Nothing but good times ahead.

LOL! Sorry. I know I shouldn't. Can you take it as a compliment? It must be so nice and warm and the husbeast will be SOOO grateful.
Ahhhh, knitting!
What blew me away was, the sweater was WET. When I picked up the cat to move her, her fur was wet. She normally HATES water. Crazed beast.
Andy pulled all the DPN's out of the sock I was knitting last night. And then sat on top of the sock to hide what he'd done.
I hate cats.
And in true April fashion I interpreted all of this as a "sign" and ripped the entire thing out.
hee hee hee hee hee...ah, *sniff*--it's been a long week, that was fun, thanks!
Gees, April, I would have taken that as a sign to ship the damned cat to my friend Wendy's house where he would become coyote kibble. YOu're a better person than I am.
I love this photo; I actually hooted(!). My cat ALWAYS does this. Usually a comfort-loving creature, there is no place she'd rather sleep than on a *wet* sweater. And of course, later there's always the pin game to be played... Well, we knew they were strange, right? I think it must be part of the charm ;-)
