My kitty has finally learned not to eat, bite, claw, my yarn (most of the time, anyway). Maybe, a little more age . . . maturity. I love the company, but the heat isn’t good. I live in Louisiana, where the heat and humidity are intolerable.

Sock is just beautiful! I share your knitting philosophy–finishing means you can start something new!!!! Even if it’s just one half of the pair, it’s finished! Enjoy!

What wonderful cats Gracie and Zoe are (not to mention beautiful!) to lie in your lap while you knit and NOT keep swatting and grabbing at and chewing on your yarn. I keep trying to civilize mine, but they are having none of it. They must have both been bred to hunt yarn.
And they wonder why I knit only in my office with the door closed!

[...] 80/20 merino/nylon) – I love the twist on this and the way that it makes the patterns pop. Here’s a close-up of one of the socks I made out of it, so that you can see the texture. Not only great for socks, [...]

I see your “Heater” – it makes me laugh because I have a Large white & yellow tomcat that takes up as much space on my lap and legs as your two do. :0)

I never thought knitting would bother me in the summer, but this year, knitting mohair shawls with cats on my lap in crummy swamp cooling has been Uncomfortable! Add the never ending hot flashes and there you go….
Blessings,

Now that’s a lap FULL of kitties! I love your sock pattern! I bet I could convert the pattern, to make a scarf with it. That would be really pretty!

Really cool sock! I love the pattern.

Here in central Wisconsin the temps stay in the 80′s, but the humidity is awful – which makes it impossible to knit without airconditioning! So, I’ve been staying inside and knitting away on shawls and cowls for Christmas presents.

We’ve also had soooooooo much rain! Set a new record for the wettest July ever last week (and July isn’t even over with yet)! Needless to say, the skeeters are absolutely horrid! (Another reason to stay inside where it’s cool and KNIT!!)

Your kitty looking at the camera could be a twin to my parent’s two cats, who are littermates – Zelda Zoe and Isabella. : ) Nothing like a little wooly blanket on your legs when it is hotter than blue blazes!

We had part persian cats growing up– lots and lots of fluffy hair on them. In the summer the heat was hard on them. One cat’s favorite thing to do was find an AC vent and sit directly on top of it. It was hilarious to see all her fur flying upwards and this satisfied “NOW I AM COOL” look on her face.

No furry animals sitting on my lap when I knit, but sometimes (not often enough to suit me) there is a grandson trying to wiggle up into my lap to help Grandma knit socks. : )
