Puss and Boots

By -


Hey I'm sharing some good Chicago weather with you today for a change. Aren't the colors amazing in our woods? Hucky loved loved loved this bridge and these trails. Do you think I should teach Beatles to walk on a leash??? He's young enough....Do you know anyone who walks their cat on a leash??

I'm knitting a pair of socks and I'm anxious to be finished. It is the old Second sock syndrome here in the Second City. I'll show them to you soon. I'm going on a tiny yarn crawl with Al tomorrow.

She's all about the dance legging revival, and she's asked me to knit her a pair. She knows her momma is all about rows and rows of stockinette! I may do some real fair isle in the rows and rows. She wants to wear them over her boots.

There you have it; Puss and Boots. I'm all about the title today.

The photos are beautiful!! Some people about a block away from us when we lived in the Chicago area walked their cat on a leash. It would drive our dog crazy. It also bothered DH. He said is wasn't natural!

My dad's cat doesn't walk on a leash, but he knows how to come when called and he stays by him when he goes out - it's so cute to watch! We don't have a leash law for cats where I'm from, just dogs, so...

(just another baby legging in the image. Using my socks yarns a little differently) I think that blogger may not have correctly counted all the posts I've written.

Im having a little contest for the milestone, but I have had writer's block since I decided on the 1000th post contest. So to take the pressure off, we are just going to do this now. :) I get crazy with pressure around events of all kinds. I just do. To enter: Please please please only leave a comment about this post on this post.

This is a call for knitters to knit a baby blanket no bigger than a cookie sheet. Blankets will be distributed in the NICU where I work. We just don't get many blankets. We need them. Traditional baby colors will do, but we'd love you to branch out a bit. Use up those leftovers if you wish. You could win a lovely prize. All who send a blanket by November 1st, ALL SAINTS DAY, you angels you, will be entered in the drawing. Here are the rules: Blanket must be made of yarn which is washable. Sorry, Hospital rules. It cannot be bigger than a cookie sheet. Smaller is welcome also. That's it. Those are the rules. I'll post the prize by next week. Mail a blanket to me Kathy B if you need my snail mail address,email me at Harpnut@gmail.com
