Mamie

We took Mamie (NoSeeUm Kitty) to the vet for shots and surgery on Friday. Since then she has been in M’s office. We open the door and even carry her outside, but she comes right back in. Does anybody want an indoor cat for Christmas?

What do little monkeys want for Christmas?

When I finished this little monkey up, he looked rather chilly (and naked). So I made him a sweater with leftover pumpkin top yarn. I think it goes rather well with his complexion. He’s got less hair than the original Mr. Dangly (one tuft seemed to be enough) and I made his bottom less pointy than the original so he’s not a True Clone*. This was a super-quick, fun knit if anybody needs a last minute present.

The Lacy Scarf is neither super-quick nor fun. This is because the yarn requires too much concentration. I can’t read while working on it. I can’t watch anything on TV that I actually have to look at. I could probably listen to a book on tape. Probably. It’s just too easy to split stitches. I am Not Motivated to finish this scarf. It’s lucky I’ve got Christmas as a deadline or it would never get finished.

*Although, an argument can be made for genotype vs. phenotype.
