I’m knitting a sock with Devon right now too – I just love the colors!

I also have a kitty that only harasses alpaca yarns. I can leave anything else sitting out with ends trailing everywhere and they won’t touch it, but the alpaca has to get put away otherwise Katherine has to cuddle it, and then she starts washing it. She doesn’t shew it, but it always needs a bath. Silly kitty!

I had a blalck and white cat named Spatz and he ate part of a cashmere sweater I foolishly left on the bed. He maximized his fiber input (and output) for many days! He was an odd sort of fellow, walking with us and yowling when he wanted us to turn and go home. Oskar, our beautiful tabby, has his own handspun yarn ball (two yards). He prefers the Malabrigo bought for the third Camp Loopy project. I must keep the yarn container zipped so that only a small opening is left for the yarn to come out; otherwise he paws at the purse until he opens the purse enough to snag the ball of yarn and pull it out. His latest trick is perching on the dining room table waiting to get in trouble. Anyone have experience with ferral cats? My son said he received Oskar from a woman who said Oskar and his sister came to her house. The female would only eat and resist any contact. Oskar kept trying to get into her house! He is a very, very affectionate cat – always wants contact with me.

I had a cat that would stalk and kill anything that I made with Alpaca in it. I had to seal up the project in those heavy plastic zip bags that sheets and blankets come in. Even then she would attack the bag. It was funny watching her creep across the floor, tail flicking, then the little butt wiggle and POUNCE! Back up and hiss. I couldn’t help but laugh at her and when I did she would stalk off all offended with a parting look over her shoulder that well if looks could kill I expected to read my obituary in the paper the next morning. She also would run and jump in the sink to play in the water any time you turned it on. Took a couple of unexpected showers with me too. Had to leave her behind when I moved boy do I miss that little monkey.

Hmm, my cats don’t see to love the alpaca. Maybe I just never had any around. I will have to make them some alpaca catnip mice and see if what happens.

Careful, I lost a $120 wrap made out of Rowan Big Wool that way – Ganache the Wonder Cat would cry and cry unless I spread it out for her to snuggle on while I knit it. (Chorley Wrap pattern.)

I have to admit, it looks better on the cat than it does me, unfortunately. And she sleeps on it every day, with a big smile on her face….
