I did! Just a few days ago. I like how it turned out, so I guess the huge needles were worth it.

I wonder if it’s a Gaillardia species or something related to an oxeye daisy - the leaf clasping a “branch” as it shoots off the stem reminds me of them

Did you buy it as seeds or a plant, or did it come up on its own? You are right, this don’t appear to be an Asclepias species, which typically have single leaves that come directly off the stem.

Sounds like your clocks aren’t set to cat time. Better check if they’re on the right time zone or if they need new batteries.

Uh oh. Were you 1 minute late with dinner again?

Half of the fun is in making things, and you can only have so many sweaters before you have to start giving them away anyways.

I’ll knit something for anyone, so this is exactly how I feel too. But for others (non-knitters) there seems to be this feeling that knit/crochet/quilted things should be treated as precious family heirlooms. Maybe because not as many people do these hobbies now? And/Or it’s still seen as something grandmas do, and things from your grandma should be treasured?

I’ve heard of it but don’t know anyone who’s experienced it. That said, a sweater is not usually an easy or quick knit. I could see someone being uncomfortable accepting one if they’re not sure about the relationship as a whole.

Look at that sweet innocent face! I just want to boop his widdle pink nose

That’s really smart! And probably less stressful for you and her. My cat used to play fetch on the stairs when he was younger. Now at 17 he just watches it roll down the steps, then stares at me until I go get it.

“Who dares disturb my slumber?”

Love how the colors mingle!!

Those eyes! Trying to look so innocent like they just happened to find you in the kitchen

I’ll have to check that out! I’m nearing heel time on my current project

Thanks! I am, it’s the only way I get past second sock syndrome lol

Please boop his heart nose for me

Thanks! Me too

Thanks!

Thank you for opening your home to him. It looks like he’s grateful too.

Also welcome to the orange club. They’re goofballs and we love them.

Love it! And it looks nice and warm too which I bet the dog enjoys.

Thanks! I started them on Christmas Eve. I just don’t get a lot of time to knit so things take me a little longer. I knit them both at the same time on circular needles.
