Thor did not jump into the tub, probably because I had the camera rolling, but he did dip his paw down into the bubbles. Full of curiosity, that one.
On the precipice
Category: Cats
Silly cat
Sophie the cat loves to climb her carpeted cat tree and play “get your fingers” through the holes. She is willing to contort for the side attack. Silly cat.
Sunlight bait
Put a fuzzy bed in the sunlight and it will sprout a cat. Even if it is an unconventional bed.
I was a little concerned yesterday when the cats would have nothing to do with the new bed. I’m glad baiting the bed with sunlight worked.
Fancy cat bed
Ok, so this is probably the silliest I’ve ever made, and that’s saying something. I repaired the broken leg in an old side table that had been used as a bench (yesterday’s post), and rather than tempt fate by putting a solid top back on, I made it into a cat hammock.
I had a pink fuzzy blanket that had already been cut into for another project (we couldn’t find the fabric by the yard, so bought a blanket), and sewed a two sided mat. I stapled the mat down to the table top, over the central opening. I then sewed a long tube of the fabric, stuffed it with polyfil and sewed that down on the mat. It is quite the sight. The cats are not too sure of it, so I put it beneath the front window where it will get some sunlight. I’ve sequentially put all three cats on the bed; all have rejected it. I’ll give it some time.
Casting on
I have cast on the Helix scarf from Spin Off magazine! I did make a modification, casting on thirty seemed very narrow, so I ripped out (only a couple rows) and cast on 50 instead. I adjusted the short rows to alternating 20 and 10. It turns out that I really like short rows, and the wrap and turn method. Izzy the cat doesn’t mind being on my lap as I knit, but Thor the cat thinks the yarn smells really good and keeps trying to take off with it, or chew on my circular needle.
