Crumpets
2005 @ 10:51 am
Isn’t it cute? Everyone should make one for the littlest lady in their lives! I should be done tonight–have I even mentioned that the Spiders have been spending a gratuitous amount of time at The Point this week? Between the subway, my lunch hour and my knitting time with the girls, the nine inches of stockinette has flown by. I was worried that I would finish it up tonight and be stuck without a new project so I got up and wound my Brooks Farm Primero this morning. I got three skeins (500 yds each) at Rhinebeck (read full post here) and have been planning to use it for the maternity sweater Christine designed in my honor (although, it would have been in her own honor had she been aware that she was also pregnant!)
Joey helped me.
First, she affectionately marked up the swift, ensuring that it will be “hers” until some other cat comes along to take posession.
The Sassy Cat was vehement… of course, if you are a cat, you already understand how important this step is to take with anything “new” in your home.
When is it not okay to laugh at your cat for having something stuck on them? Oh yea, the moment they realize that their dignity has been compromised.
I thought about leaving her with the string, but remembered that my sister’s cat had a very unfortunate experience with a ribbon a few weeks back in which said ribbon took the long way out of the situation. I have no interest in seeing two inches of yarn coming out of my cat’s a-hole, and I don’t think you do either.

I’m tempted to get pregnant just so I can knit my very own Crumpets. Adorable!
You better get cracking on that maternity sweater! Although the Morehouse yarns are so yummy, once you start you’ll probably whiz through it.
I can’t wait to see Crumpets all done …no wait, I can’t wait to see it on little sassy when she coems around! Ahh Cats ingesting string does not make for a fun night - believe me!
Thought I’d say hi! Was just browsing the web looking for some knitting pages… saw that you just recently been in Iceland. That’s where I live.. just found it interesting.

Crumpets looks darling, darling. Can’t wait to see it all finished and being modelled off by wee Wong. Awwwwww. So cute, I tell ya.
Your Crumpets is so cute! I wish I had a little lady in my life to knit one for! Not my own kid though, of course. I’m still a little young for that.
Your kitty is too cute!
hahaha, oh joey. cats are so funny.
