Duct Tape
Double the fun when then kittens are ready to play!
These two are just so lovely.
They even let us cut their nails last night without any fuss.
We may have an adopter which would make me very happy.
Black kittens and cats tend to sit at the shelter and take forever to be adopted out.
Keep your knit fingers crossed for me ladies.
I'd love them to have a home by the end of the week!
Lynn's adopting Bonk and Fixie , now Teddy and Mr Whiskers was a dream come true....
I hope the same for this dynamic duo!

It took me three more tries to get the double knitting under way.
The above is with sock yarn and its a bit too fiddly. I do like the way the black is zigzagging along.
On a bigger needle, with sport weight, the Liberty Wool is behaving very nicely. So double knit scarf it will be.

We watched the first episode of Six Feet Under the series, at a friend's recommendation. I did NOT like it.
Too graphic, too dark, too vulgar.
I like nice shows....I'm boring.
Then we switched to watching the MOVIE:
AVIATOR. We had never seen it.
We really loved the movie.
If you didn't see it back when, well it is quite good.
I felt very sorry for Howard Hughes at the end.
Yet, it was not a sad movie.
Very engaging, we didn't want to shut it off even to get a cuppa decaf!

Finally on this Sunday,
I must tell you that the duct tape is working.
Almost every night I say I'm thinking of breaking into the box for some Christmas cookies.
Senor Boyer laughs. Fireman laughs.
They are no help.
The don't say NO!!!
They are just as entertained seeing when I'll cave in.
So because of that, the box remains duct taped and safe in the freezer...for now

Oh man ....you have some awesome willpower. That duct tape would be in the trash by now at my house.
Love the black beauties. I hope they find a good home.
Your reference to duct tape makes me think of the Frog and Toad story "Cookies" - a true classic. Good luck and many kudos to you for such self-control!
That Liberty Wool is lovely. I got to use some for a magazine commission and really enjoyed working with it.
Love the zigzags.
Out of sight, out of mind works for me. Good luck with that.
I love black kitties and will always have one when I can mange it! :)
Like you I could never watch something a dark and Six Feet Under! I would have bad dreams for a week or more.
The black kitties are so cute. They deserve a good home so we are praying one will come along very soon.
Got my fingers crossed for the kitties. They look they are ready for their fur-ever home!
Hugs and best of luck with the potential adoptions.
