I’m about 2/3 of the way through season 5 of 24. Things got very intense, so I’ve been taking a break for a few days. Plus, I needed to catch up on my library books – especially the new books that I can’t renew!
I have made good progress on the refined raglan, both while watching 24 and while reading.
“What have we here?” -M
“Duh. Obviously it’s a cat bed.” -C
“Oh, how clever – it even has cat toys built in!” -C
“Wait, is that yarn I see?!” -M
“Yarn!” *chew chew chew* -M
Ack! I must go rescue my sweater!
Are you sure May is a cat? Maybe you brought a puppy home instead??
Ahhhh. yarn biting. Our favorite sport here at chez knit ‘n lit.
Maybe it’s a “kitten” thing? My elderly babies show no interest, and The Meezer only wants to chase, not bite…
You’ve made progress on that sweater, tho’! Wow!
And thanks for the reminder, I have a couple library books to return soon – no not read, who has time in a move?
(((hugs)))
I had to look really hard in the first puc to see two cats, its kitty camo!
Yarn isn’t for eating? No one furry around here seems to know this either.
You’re progressing along there w/ the sweater! And C&M’s fur is so silky shiny… do you feed them anything special? Brush them often?
Cats and yarn, they go together like a big bowl of spaghetti and my daughter. I have to rescue my handknits all the time as well.
Well of course yarn is for eating! And they’ll do it at ANY age…
What are you using again for the raglan?
Don’t you just love 24?
Chaos and May –
Nice job with the sweater. They’re slow, but eventually they WILL learn that everything in the house is a cat toy.
-Cricket
That’s funny… I was thinking, “What’s that weird thing on the right of the sweater? A sash? An extra arm? Oh. It’s a kitty tail.” ๐
Eek! Your kitty wonder twins are off on another mission to save the world from black sweaters!
Great pictures, they really know how to team up in the cute and mischief departments ;o)
I’m sorry to tell you that the general consensus is that this season of 24 sucks. But when you get to last season’s it will be great!
Oh P.S. I think Shannon’s Black Sheep Knitalong is still going on if you want to share your sweater – it looks great!
Sorry, but this season’s 24 rocks hardcore! It has to. It has Mmmmmmilo. Ahem.
Sweater! You’re progresstational!
LOL. “This is a lovely sweater, Chris, but what are all these holes in it?”
“Oh, that’s just where Chaos and May got hungry…”
Young Alfie has recently decided my Addi’s are something that he must Vigorously defend me from.
it’s cold here in jersey lately and somehow one of my cats ended up underneath our covers and her head was inside my pillow case. i woke up in the middle of the night wondering why my pillow was purring.
the sweater seems to be the right color to not show any cat hair!
Uh oh, another solid black sweater out there…
Looks good!
I spy Mistral’s Kiss there ๐ May is getting so big!
*sticks fingers in ears/eyes/whatever*
I can not start another tv show – you and Jeanne are killing me with the 24 stuff. Must look only at pictures of cats.
รขโฌลOh, how clever – it even has cat toys built in!รขโฌย -C
I love that one!
24 isn’t available through our library so I am avoiding it. For now. So stop trying to tempt me.
Lost starts again tonight — Woot!
Man I wish I had your sweater knitting skills. It looks great!
The sweater is looking good… well except for the holes and cat spit. ๐
cat bed … heh heh.. I see our kitties have been taking lessons from each other again ๐
what naughty kitties
wow…
i admire ya…
i’m desperate to make a sweater one day, just too lazy…
and with the reading and watching tv and knitting at the same time?
bow.
Your sweater is looking great, much less like a ball of cat this picture. Do Chaos or May ever make your yarn soggy, my sister’s cat loves to slobber up her yarn and mine too when I’m visiting.
Oh and hey, next posting if you wouldn’t mind, your so good at getting the word out, I’m venturing a new project to help a fellow knitter who just found out her husband has been diagnosed with lymphoma. I posted about it today on my blog, and will post again about it tomorrow, it’s called “Blanket of Hope”. If you don’t mind, if you do that’s fine too.
AHHHHH! Cat on sweater! Cat on sweater!
Hmmmm…..I wonder why you didn’t choose white yarn?
When i first glanced at the sweater photo, I thought WHOA! THAT is some incredibly lustrous yarn!!! Oops, it’s a cat (Chaos, right?).
Oh, thanks for the Barbara Walker & Elisa links!
That Chaos. But it’s Mayhem causing most of the yarn, er, Mayhem.
Black goes with everything. Those socks are fine with those shoes.
After year of ignoring yarn, Simon seems to think yarn is for flossing his teeth, or something along those lines. He makes it very soggy!
ooooh, i’m loving the black raglan!
especially with that extra pair of detachable sleek’n’glossy black cat sleeves…i hear they’re all the rage this year. they may not sit still at the opera, though. (although they might sing along)
*giggle*
The cats are like a Where’s Waldo? with that black sweater ๐
hey! i too am exactly 2/3 through season 5 of 24. i gotta say…it’s getting a little too predictable yet far-fetched at the same time. i’m starting to make fun of the way jack talks. “I DON”T CARE HOW YOU GET IT TO ME CHLOE JUST GET IT TO ME NOWWWW!!!!!!”
