knitting is a hereditary disease

A story of Rowan All Seasons Cotton

Yo, Mom, could you think of something to post here so that we can get my silly face off the top of this website?

Geez.

I haven't posted in a while because I haven't knit much of anything. This weekend I worked on unknitting. I ripped out an entire sleeve of the St. Mawes sweater of doom.

Indy was extremely helpful throughout the process. Indy has developed a lust for Rowan All Seasons Cotton that rivals my own. I, however, do not actually try to consume the yarn as Indy does, though I have been known to describe it as "delicious".

In fact, a few weeks ago Indy did consume a very large strand of this particular yarn (a 10-ply, no less). Brad and I watched and waited nervously for the next few days to see if we were going to have to bring him into the vet for an emergency surgery. But he continued on as normal. Actually, he was even a bit more purr-ful and happy than normal (probably because of all the extra attention we were giving him, trying to figure out if his insides were tied up in 10-ply knots). We dutifully checked the litterbox every day to see if there was any evidence there. Nothing. As the days dragged on we had to ask ourselves if he was digesting the yarn or knitting a little mitten with it, which he would eventually poop out.

So. Moral(s) of the story? You never know when a story will veer off into the topic of poop; my cat isn't to be trusted with expensive Rowan yarns; and, judging from my track record with this sweater, neither am I!
