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.

I'm not so good with the colorwork...but even I can see the problem there.
But EVERYthing's better with a cat!
--this message brought to you by the felines for brainwashing humans into thinking we're cute when we piss them off society
It's strange that when you just get settled and into the groove of knitting,
a cat miraculously appears in you lap.
On a good day I have one on my lap and one on the arm of the chair waiting for a vacancy on the lap,
hmmm, i suppose you would have the same problem, but with a kitty and the goober!
It is great having a cozy cat, but sometimes it could be a bit much... Great colors and pattern!! (Eh, on the sweater...)
Try knitting a sweater for the cat, put it on her, then see how much she hangs around when you're knitting! (OK, yes, I'll admit I knit a sweater for my cat. But a hairless cat in Wisconsin needs a sweater)
I haven't started my strikke-a-long yet, I'm not happy with my hand-dyed yarn. I have to give it another bath this weekend.
That cat's as bad as the kids! :) Did you make those charts on the computer?
But, he loves you!!
If you didn't need the cat, the cat would not be there. Cats know better than humans. this is a fact of life. (If your tummy is ooky, you need comforting.)
