Thankful for Thoughtfulness Thursday

 This crazy cat lady would like to thank
Leslie for the great knit project bag.
I absolutely love it. 
I loaned Leslie a pattern book and it was returned with this bag...
and yes 
it's the cat's meow.  (I had to....)

I must tell you I met my first Hairless cat today at the shelter. Guano (as in bat poop) is so sweet.  I learned from his owner who works there, that two Sphynx make a hairless.  
I had no idea.  
Having had a gorgeous golden retriever and a pretty sheltie
in my adult life, you can gather I love wonderful coats.
I was a big taken aback at Guano's well, 
every wrinkle, but I think I could get used to it, after all he is a feline. 

Next up the baby poncho I hope to finish this weekend. 
I picked it up at the stitchmarker point a few days ago.
It is the Posh Baby Pattern,
but I may make the bottom differently than
the instructions call for.
It is made of mixed Koigu pinks and a plain pink, double stranded.
It will be warm. 
Al had knitted a baby sweater 3/4 of the way with this  koigu years ago and then disliked how busy it was.  I frogged it back and 
had to find a use for it. 
Come to think of it,
It would fit a Hairless cat about now.....

My daughter has a Sphynx. She LOVES putting clothes on him.

Haha, I love how you are obsessing over the hairless cat. I know how those trains of thought can travel. I like pink. I keep looking at pink yarns, but I think "The Season" brings me back to wintery or cozy colors instead.

Looks like you're almost done with the poncho. Is that the one sans hood? Fun color. Brrr...I'll bet that hairless kitty gets mighty cold these days. Love the knitting bag!

That is so interesting because I met my first hairless cat on Monday. One of the little ones I work with was in a respite home, so I went there to work on him and me the cat. Very friendly little one, but very interesting.
Hugs,
Meredith

Those kitties do look "weird" at first, but any that I have met are so incredibly sweet and cuddly, pretty soon they look like all kitties do to me. :-)

I have only seen photos of hairless cats - I think seeing one in person would be interesting.

Love the poncho AND the yarn. I use stitch markers to motivate myself on big projects. I tend to knit more when I can actually see the progress I've made in one sitting.

The dog I had before Dear Departed Doggie was a Sheltie. He was the best dog ever. Blind cat (Ali), Sheltie (Duffy) and a son named Zach-we have so much in common!
I have never actually written anything about my Dear Departed blind kitty. I found her in a trash can on a 90 degree day. She was crying up a storm. Someone just threw that tiny kitten away like garbage. The sweet thing had tons of health issues-seizures mainly but she lived a good long life and was the prettiest itty bitty calico that you ever saw.

Hello Kathy
I've never seen one of those hairless cats. I've always found them quite ugly. I suppose as with everything it is a matter of getting used to it. I found this topic quite interesting actually so I am going to google it and get some more info.

keep well

Amanda :-)

LOVE that project bag! Leslie chose the PERFECT material for you! That poncho is so cute... I'm thinking that a hairless cat might really appreciate a smaller version with the winter closing in. ;) blessings ~ tanna

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
