…if you’re going to be on the table, you’ll have to wear a bib. 🙂

Sometimes I think
…that I’m losing ground on my “no cats on the table” rule.
“What cats? I don’t see any cats!” -Chaos
“What table? I don’t see any table!” -Mayhem
The cat’s in the bag
“Finally it’s my turn!” -Mayhem
“Very cozy.” -Mayhem
“Really an excellent fit.” -Mayhem
“Does it have a flavor?” -Mayhem
“What do you mean, that was dangerously close to lolspeak?” -Mayhem
“There’s no call for that kinda talk, Mom. I’ll be sulking if you need me.” -Mayhem
Have a great weekend, everyone!
With even more knitting content, but also lots of cat pictures in case knitting’s not your thing
“No one’s looking, right?” -Chaos
“Hey, I can see you in there, big kitty!” -Mayhem
“No you can’t, Mayhem. No one can see me.” -Chaos
“I am invisible.” -Chaos
“Wait a minute – what are you looking at?!” -Chaos
“I’m outta here! How embarrassing…” -Chaos
What? You can’t tell what my completed project is from those pictures?! 😉 It’s the Everlasting Bagstopper from Knitty, knit from 1.75 balls of Lion Brand Kitchen Cotton in Salt & Pepper.
Instead of the ribbon handles from the pattern, I knit seven stitch i-cord belt handles. (Using an odd number of stitches and two doublepointed needles, knit half the stitches plus one. With yarn in front, slip the remaining stitches as if to purl. Turn and repeat. It won’t look like anything for the first inch or two, then suddenly you’ll have a column of garter stitch with i-cord on each side of it. That Elizabeth Zimmermann – brilliant!)
“Is it my turn yet, big kitty?” -Mayhem
Product placement
“What do you mean, this is going straight to the source and cutting out the middlebox?” -Mayhem
“You confuse me, Mom.” -Mayhem
“Whatever. Gotta go – for some reason after sitting in that box, I really need to pee!” -Mayhem
Celestine attack!
At long last, Celestine is complete. Whew! It’s very cute, but dang, was it ever fiddly. And I’m still traumatized from weaving 24 ends into such a small project.
*nom nom nom nom nom* -Mayhem
What the heck?! I swear I didn’t put any nip in the stuffing – this is a gift for a human, not a cat.
“Wheeeeeeeeee!” -Mayhem
“Take that! And that! And that, too!” -Mayhem
“What do you mean, this isn’t for me and I have to give it back now?! No! I won’t let go! Mine!!” -Mayhem
And tomorrow she is two…
You’ve grown so much since you arrived…
…but you’ll always be my Kitten Girl!
Happy birthday, Mayhem!
“The big kitty said I should look wistful and ask for tuna. Is it working?” -Mayhem
Work beat me up and left me for dead yesterday, and all you get…
is pictures of a cat with a wet head. Better luck next time? 🙂
“You can’t really tell that my head is wet and my fur is mussed, right?” -Mayhem
“Right?! Darn that tempting shower anyway.” -Mayhem
In which I reveal the Mother’s Day card I received
Nicole’s hosting her Second Annual Bookwyrm’s Birthday Blog Bash! She’ll be offering three prizes: one each in the categories of knitting, reading, and writing. To get more details and participate, head on over by May 21.
Ok, since I decided that the bibs must go in the mail today, I stayed up way too late in order to finish knitting the second bib. As part of that, I sacrificed the time I was planning to use to write a witty, insightful post for y’all… not buying it? Darn it. (Yeah, I can wait for the snarky commentary to die down.)
Um… Look! Over there! The kitties gave me a Mother’s Day card! Wasn’t that sweet?
There were a lot of smudgy footprints on the envelope, so I’m sure it’s authentic. 😉
“Of course it is! Love you, Mom!” *purr purr purr* -Chaos
I hope everyone has a great weekend!
Cute vampire or goofball zombie? You decide.
