So I finished up this week’s Delancey Cardigan knit along assignment and just as I was setting up to shoot it I encountered an obstacle.
Fat Cat
In the form of my gigantic cat Pudge Rodriguez. It would be rude to move her (since, you know, she doesn’t sleep 22 hours a day or anything) so I just kind of worked around her.
One sleeve finished, and the second sleeve started! Pudge obviously approves.
Second Sleeve Start! ... and Pudge
The short rows for the second sleeve went a lot faster than the first. I might attribute that to Rob Lowe. I just started watching Brothers & Sisters, and despite it being a pretty boring show about a bunch of rich white people, Rob Lowe is SUPER HOT in it, and everything is a little easier when you are watching him being sexy and adorable.
I digress. Wait, I DO NOT DIGRESS!
YESSSSS. Rob Lowe is the best. I couldn’t bring myself to watch Brothers & Sisters, not even for him. He is amazing on Parks & Rec if you don’t watch that yet. It is LITerally the best show on television.

Also, I rescued a cat a few months ago, and she is now GIGANTIC. Her name is Sadie, but I have secretly started refering to her as Baby Jabba. She is much larger than my other dainty cats.

I LOVE PARKS & REC! It is totally the best show on TV. I rewatch the entire series over all the time! hehe

Your cat is adorable. It’s nice to read that other people also humor their pets. “What? You don’t want me to be reading now? You want me to be petting you? Okay.” I am powerless against my dog and cat… unless they start messing with my yarn. Then all bets are off.

Hmm. I used to blog about chocolate and I had to digress/not and include a picture of Johnny Depp from the movie Chocolat, so, I am ok with you and Rob Lowe.

I used to have one cat who would eat my yarn while I was knitting (I’d knit along oblivious until I came to a rather wet end…)
My other cat was more obvious. She would sit on my hands, I’d push her off. Then she’d slowly move up my chest until she could reach my face and gently “pet” my face until I put my knitting down and pet her.
Knitted/felted cat beds solved one problem but not the other – the chewer ate everything small and thin, like headphone wires, etc.
