As you may have read already, Wendy was in town for the opening of the Bohus Exhibit at the American Swedish Institute. Catherine and her husband hosted a party in Wendy’s honor at their condo, which had the most amazing view of downtown Minneapolis. (Please excuse the graininess of my pictures – I was using the “available light” setting on my camera for most of the shots.)
Here’s a picture of the knitbloggers gathered together (yes, I know, everyone who was there has a variation of this picture on their blog – but in this one, my eyes are open!) – from the left, Wendy, kmkat, me, and Susan.
And now… the blackmail shots! 😉 Probably best if no one tells Lucy that her mom was consorting with strange Ragdolls, hmm?
Over the weekend, I stopped at IKEA and couldn’t resist picking up a new cat bed. I think Chaos likes it.
“Don’t let that paw get any closer to my new cat bed, Mayhem!” -Chaos
“But Mom bought that for both of us, big kitty!” -Mayhem
*zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz* -Chaos
😉 Is yours the only one with your eyes open?
Sheesh Chaos, can you sleep knowing those big (cat bed) eyes are starring at you?
Ah! I KNEW there were blackmail photos somewhere! Thanks again for taking me to the airport. I wish I lived closer so we could hang out more often!
aw, the bed is so cute!
Wendy’s secret is safe with me, who could resist such cute kittehs?
Wow, lucky you! Getting to hang with such cool knitters!
I’ve seen those beds! The guys have been nagging me to pick it for awhile now…
That is one great cat bed!
What fun! How was the Bohus exhibit? I love the story and the patterns. And, the new bed? A kitty on top of a kitty. Adorable.
Were you able to get photos inside the Bohus exhibit? Looks like y’all had a great time.. and I LOVE the “kitty bed”!
Looks like you’re going back to IKEA for another bed!
Well, yes, I’d have to agree that that is definitely a “cat” bed.
It looks like you all had such fun! That bed is a riot!
What a gorgeous Ragdoll! Almost as cute as Chewy. 🙂
Haven’t seen the Bohus yet, i think I’m going to take an afternoon off and stroll at my leisure. Of course, I tried to sign up for the all day workshop way too late.
Were their any Maine Coon patterned and sized kitty beds? Momma (for some reason) doesn’t think I’d fit on the black kitty one.

Chris- Wow, I hope you said hi to Wendy and Susan for me.
I wish they made those beds big enough for humans.
Looks like a fabulous weekend was had by all! I’m planning a trip home while the exhibit is still running. That cat bed is just fabulous! Talk about camouflage.
Good picture of you! Hmm, maybe you should’ve gotten two beds?
That is a really awesome cat bed!
How was the Bohus exhibit!? That bed could not be more perfect.
It’s hard to tell the cat from the bed in those shots. The kitties are all incognito now. 😉
Darling bed. Also, that first picture is amazing!
Yay for open eyes! Great party and great to see you again.
Chaos’s new cat bed could have posed for your banner 🙂
Looks like a good time! I hope the exhibit was good too. Hopefully Lucy won’t see the photos of Wendy and the “other ragdoll.”
Nice cat bed! It seems to fit Chaos really well. May will just have to hang on the dining table. 😉
What a great cat bed! If I thought for a second my cat would actually ever sit on it, I’d get it.
Did you get your hair trimmed?
It sounds like you all had a blast! I wish I was close enough by to see the exhibition, but maybe if I’m lucky it will come to the Peabody in Salem!
So – heading back to Ikea next weekend?
Party looks fun – the shots I’m seeing of the skyline are really cool.
Love the new cat bed! How very sleek and modern! Hope Chaos is not hogging it all so May doesn’t get a chance to use it!
That’s a great picture of ALL of you — the best one, I think! (And yes, I’ve seen it on all the relevant blogs….) 😉
Kmkat had the Special Feature Handy-Dandy Knitting In The Wild identification guide, though, and when she said “Wollmeise”, I had to embiggen to see — sure enough, it looked familiar!
The cat bed is awesome. Not available on website; hmmm. I so rarely get up there to the Cities, especially in winter. Maybe my brother (or more likely, my sister-in-law) can make an Ikea run on my behalf so that my black kitteh can disguise herself too (she’d like it). They have two black cats as well, bet they’d like one also. (Now they’ll be all out, wait and see.)
I want to live there… what a great place to hang out and knit! Sure looks like fun.
We have that cat bed too so when Chaos nips over he’ll have to evict Ariel from it 🙂
Knit blogger meet ups are such fun 🙂
We have been unsuccessful in any attempt to persuade our cats to use cat beds. Their reply: “AHEM? My ‘cat bed’ is the middle one-third of your own bed, foolish human. Now scoot over!”
That cat bed is hysterical! Only comes in black, though…
That cat bed is a little unnerving.
Herd animals? lol. Nice pix!
I think Chaos is havin’ some sweet lovin’ moments with that new cat bed….
Of course we’re herding animals! That’s why they always have Border Collies at the fiber festivals, in case we get out of hand…
the cat bed does look a little scary.
Nice cat bed! Plus there’s nothing like a bed that matches your fur. I think you need one more though.
Looks like it was a fun party! Have you gone to the exhibit yet?
that is one cool cat bed! How will you find the cats now?
that cat bed is hysterical!
looks like you had some fun at the party 🙂
love those ‘blackmail photos
and that kitty bed is beyond purrfect!
I think knitters are more like pack animals than herd animals. Though is someone were to mention “yarn sale”, we would stampede…. 🙂
I’d heard about those blackmail photos on Plurk… if you hadn’t posted them, I was considering asking for them. 🙂
Knitbloggers unite! What fun.
Fantastic bed.
