Beth, stop teasing the cat!

You know he want's to......


Okay, so I can't stop working on my scrap sock yarn granny square blanket!

Kinda hard to tell how big it is, but it is getting bigger. It's not quite a lap throw yet. I am running out of yarn! It actually is turning out really cool. This could have looked like total crap, but I am mixing up the colors pretty good. This is the yarn I have left:

When all the yarn is gone, I will put it aside until I have more to add to it. I even worked a little on my sock! I am to the dreaded short row heel. I bet I have it finished by the weekend.

Here is Smudge looking over the blanket. He has to smell everything!

That is looking so great! I might just have to figure out how to crochet....I knew I'd been saving those scraps for something.

Smudge looks as though he's already making claim. I love it, it's total scrappy goodness.

it looks great!

My best friend is the same way. So much so that when we're together one of us is guaranteed to say 'Always smell it first'. I don't get the whole smelling thing.

It looks great! Kind of pixilated, very cool.

Smudge is just doing a quality control check. Helpful cat - even if you DO keep torturing him with the camera.

So far the blanket is looking nice. You should start taking donations of scrap yarn!

Great blanket! My cat has to sniff everything too. She especially likes damp blocking lace!
