Rediscovering My Knitting Project.

 Knitting, I forgot how fun and relaxing it is!

A household with a cat can be akin to a household with a small child. Everything that you don't want destroyed, eaten or torn needs to be child-proved  or in our case, cat-proved. Mausi is as nosy as can be and literally needs to inspect everything. Coming home with bags of groceries entails her putting her nose into every bag to inspect the purchases.

With that in mind I had taken the trouble to put all my wool and half knitted project into a sealed plastic container. Well, a container with a lid which is as good as. Yesterday was the day to open it again. A patch work quilt in the making that actually only needs to be assembled. Isn't it always the bit at the end that stops completion? 

Knitters are renowned for plenty of UFOs...Un-Finished Objects!

In order to crochet all the knitted squares together I had to put them onto the couch to see into which sequence to place the individual squares. Well, Miss Mausi thought that they were put there for her to sleep upon. Like a queen she jumped onto the middle square and settled down for the afternoon. What a cad.

Knitting is well suited to these corona times. Watching television while knitting or crocheting is rather pleasant  and fun. It helps calm spirit and mind while at the same time keeping our cat entertained. Goodness me, what a splendid aide she is. The minute my ball of wool rolls onto the floor ( hard not to ) she jumps up from her spot on the couch and chases after the errant ball of wool. It takes all my dexterity to get there before she decides to place her fangs lovingly into this soft ball of wool...
