Signups are open for Sockapalooza 4 – sign up fast, because they won’t be open for long! I think I’m going to skip this one – the pressure of knitting socks for someone other than myself or my family – oh my. I did sign up for Sockamania, which is limited to 25 people, so act fast if you’re interested in that, too! 4/13/07: Sockamania is now closed.
Signups open April 16 for Knitters’ Coffee Swap Round 2! Mark your calendars – Round 1 was a blast.
Not only is it the month of prizes for participating in the Walker Treasury Project, but Karrie is offering an additional special prize to a randomly chosen mosaic swatch knitter. Since the only mosaic swatches so far have been knitted by Karrie and one other person, you have great odds on this contest!
You could win a free Jordana Paige knitting bag – winners will be announced on April 23.
Knitting Update
Coworkers whose wives are having babies… what to do but knit bibs? 🙂
“I do not approve.” -M
“I do not approve. At. All.” -M
“A little help here, big kitty? No?” -M
“Heh. The secret is to look so pathetic and betrayed that Mom removes the bib herself!” -M
Doesn’t taking a picture without the flash (even as terribly blurry as it was, since May moved her head) convey a totally different feeling? How would you caption this last picture of Mayhem?
So – on those bibs – does one skein of Sugar ‘n Cream make one bib? Thanks!
I will burn the offending bib with my glowing eyes of DOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!
Kitty the Hutt says “No more bibs or I will eat you!!”
That second picture of Chaos with the bib on is hilarious. I love the look he’s giving you, and his little slits for eyes.
As for the caption…god, it’s too early for me to think. How’s about, “Soon I will spit pea green soup and levitate.”?
For that last picture of May:
“Woah! I totally know what you mean about eating the coffee beans big kitty!”
May, hasn’t anyone told you that wearing a bib means it’s time for FOOD?? 😉
aw, kitty in bib has won my heart!
blurry kitty has kind of creeped me out. but in a totally adorable way.
Fear. You will know fear, catstaff.
And I do, Mayhem!
I didn’t know you were in sockmania!
I think Mayhem may have been thinking you were saying something about May’s eating habits. No one likes to hear they’re a sloppy eater
Great pictures of Mayhem! She really looks annoyed; doesn’t find you amusing at all 🙂
I think May was giving you the evil eye. If only we knew what she was thinking!
Thanks for the heads up on the coffee swap. I was really sorry I missed that one last time around!
So, will you be signing up for the coffee swap? It was so fun having you as my pal!!
Love the bib by the way – even if May doesn’t appreciate it.
Here’s my caption *How is your camera working now that I’ve popped you one! Taking pictures of me wearing a bib. The humanity.*
“Man, whipping off that bib so fast made my head spin, Mom…don’t DO that!”
(((hugs)))
Finally May had to model the bib, I bet Chaos is laughing.
“Look into my eyes, Big Kitty… You are getting sleepy…sleeeeepy. Now you will put your head in this bib…”
That poor May…what can I say..you’ve got a crazy mom!
I’m skipping S4, too. I just finished socks for someone else…it’s my turn;-)
She’s practicing a sonic wave attack for the next bib that comes her way ;o)
A May caption for you: “Holy crap Chaos! I can’t stop shaking after wearing that bib! Did you have the same reaction?”
Thanks for the laugh. I may just have to knit my boy a bib. Only for the fun of putting it on the cats, you know.
I wish I had time for all these KALs!
Dang, someone already stole my coffee bean line, but, yeah, she’s definitely been hitting the espresso beans.
What cute little “babies”! Thanks for the tip on the Coffee Swap – I’ve been waiting for that!
return of the bibs! woohoo! Nice matching there – green bib, green eyes. It’s a good look for her. 😉
I wish I drank coffee. is there a hot chocolate division? maybe I’ll have to start my own…
i love may in tbe bib! so great.
Mayhem: “With the power of my mind I COMPEL YOU!”
Great bib pictures!
“You want me to wear what?!?!”
Cats are so fashion conscious after all.
caption: or as I just mistyped catpion (heh).
caption: I think I’m having an allergic reaction to the bib – blech!
Bibalicious!
(assuming that this is what you’ve been knitting other than socks)
May is so cute even in her disgruntlement! It is a very nice bib, but can any bib compare to soft, black kitty fur?
Caption:
“Oh, no, is that another bib?! Where to hide? Where to hide?”
Hee hee, at least he KNOWS how to model, no matter how funny May thinks it is.
Cute bib, too.
That bib turned out fantastic! No obvious pooling or flashing!
Caption:
“Oh no! Must keep the bib-wearing personality inside. Deep inside. No, you are not seeing my bib wearing personality!”
Apparently we all missed the sign-up for “Bib-a-Cat 3000”.
Hi there!
:O)
I’m sorta-maybe-a-little-back from the great unknown land of not-blogging…but it’s likely that I may not blog much about knitting over there at GlutenFree Knitting…! Course, also I may disappear again for months.
And snow is April is EEEEEEEEvil. (she says as she complains that it will never get above 45 here in Oregon…!)
“If she puts yet another bib on me, she’ll only THINK I’ve lived up to my name so far.”
“Looking left…looking right…making sure Mom doesn’t come out with another bib to model, or I’m outta here!”
Oooh, the coffee swap! I’m so excited!! I have never done one. How about this for Mayhem, ‘see big kitty, I really AM from a different space-time continuum’
OHHH NOOOOO NOT THE BBBBBBIBS!!!!
awww poor little May, she looks like she’s about to latch on and put you in a head lock in that second one 🙂
Caption:
Uh, No Way Jose!
If looks could kill. 🙂
Cute bib!
Perhaps if mom looked away for a moment I could destroy this thing. Maybe then she wouldn’t make me wear them.
I think the second picture displays her feelings to a T! Love the kitty-in-a-bib! Maybe you could put her on the front of the cards you give with the gifts. What would the inside of those cards say I wonder?
oh, i loooove torturing cats with bibs!
that could be a whole new site–Stuffon CatsDOTcom move over, we’ve got Cats in Bibs!
in that last shot i think she’s being transported through a wormhole into an alternate blogiverse.
and i *love* that one skein of sugar’n’creme makes a whole bib. i can’t think of a better baby gift for less than two bucks…hehheh!
I am not signing up either. It was way too stressful last year!
M:”You wait til you’re at work next, that nice green yarn gets a bite”
I love the second picture, I think that it perfectly conveys what Mayhem thinks of wearing the bib…
I can’t think of a caption for the picture, but I can think of a poor kitty in my house that could use a bib, he is such a messy eater!
