A Difference of Opinion
William Henry and I believe that the decorative knobs on my furniture serve conflicting purposes. I believe that they are for decoration. William Henry believes that they are chew toys.
He’s chewed the knobs on the foot of the bed too.
My solution? Knob cozies!
Practical and stylish!
I really am working on the Dish Rag Tag voting. I can’t remember my surveymonkey password (and I am not sure if I can do pictures this way). This has not been the healthiest week for me. On the upside, all the decorative woodwork in the house is safe.

I love the two pictures, he looks all smug and satisfied in the first picture and pouty in the second!
Hope you’re feeling much better soon!

We have several pieces of furniture that look like that! Thing is, we don’t have any cats! Antique furniture chewed by antique cats?
Must be!!
Rest, rest Emily! You need to be healthy! It’s more important now than ever!

This post was just for me! Hooray WH! oh, yeah, and you too.

Poor Wm Henry
I wonder what he’ll find to chew next! Our cats have used the stair rail for playing… it has claw marks in parts where they play circus.

Please take it easy - get some rest!

I hope you feel better soon, Emily! Be sure to rest. And, the knob cozies are too clever. WH looks peeved in that last photo.

Cozies would not deter my kitties. I’m glad your furbaby is deterred.
I hope you feel better!

OMGosh Em - I had a cat that did the SAME thing. He thought he was a dog. I eventually solved it by buying him DOG chew toys….. too funny.
love your solution

Those are hilarious and adorable. And useful! All our decorative knobs look just like yours.

Sorry to hear you are feeling bad. Fooey. And WHI is huge! Of course you made knob cozies. Really, of course you did.
November 18th, 2007 at 6:47 pm
I love the little cozies. How long have they been on there now? Has WH managed to mangle or remove any of them yet?
November 18th, 2007 at 8:26 pm
Those cozies are so cute! Hope you are feeling better.

Very cute cozies! An excellent idea. I wonder if I could get away with cozy-ing every door frame in the house or if that would put the Mr. over the edge.
I hope things get better for you soon! Dry crackers/dry toast and chamomile tea with a touch of honey worked for me on my not the best days.

What a great solution. I have some Zofran I would be willing to pass on.
November 19th, 2007 at 6:46 pm
I’m sure WH is smart enough to remove those cozies if he wanted to! I love the pictures and have been wanting to see WH for some time, but know you’ve been busy (and maybe tired??). Take good care of yourself. Knit whatever you want- or not.

I have doorframes that look like that because Katie likes to use them to stretch. I love the knob cozies!
Hope you’re feeling better soon.

That’s awesome! What a great idea.
I’m sorry you’re not feeling well; hope you’re feeling better soon. Sending hugs your way!
And if I don’t use my standard password for something, I’m clueless. One woman I met said she keeps a card file with all her various logins and passwords.

Does he pull the cozies off and bat them around the house???
November 20th, 2007 at 12:10 pm
Sorry you aren’t well, hope you’re back to full health soon.
The cozies are a great idea, now if I could find something similar for the back of my sofa…

Oh, man, I HATE when I lose passwords! Good luck! (Not your mother’s maiden name, is it?)
November 20th, 2007 at 2:20 pm
Knob cozies! Genius!!
Hope you are feeling better!!
November 20th, 2007 at 6:46 pm
Hope you’re feeling better. I think your decorative woodwork looks awfully cute with the cozies - and it should be more baby friendly, too, yes? Bonus.

William Henry is adorable………
Have a wonderful thanksgiving day. Feel well. Knit much.
