Cat blanket

I spent quite a bit of time on Sunday knitting. I was kind of knitting and working/playing with The Sims--I wanted to play, but there was a bad skin somewhere--a downloaded skin that was causing the game to crash every time I tried to create a new character. As I would cycle through the available bodies, whenever I'd hit a certain one, the game would quit and dump me back out to the desktop.

Since I didn't know which skin was causing the problem, in order to find it, I would have to run the game, crash, remove a skin blindly, restart the game, crash, lather, rinse, repeat. I have no idea how many times I had to restart it, and every time I did, it took forever, since I have thousands of objects and characters. So I'd remove a file to see if it was the problem, then restart, then go knit for awhile and wait for it to start back up.

During one of the intervals when I was sitting at my desk, Pyewacket took over the knitting. I didn't have the heart to move her, she looked so comfy and cute.

I'm knitting a shawl, so it's big and soft, and it's part wool, so she really loves it. I guess my next project is going to have to be a cat blanket.

As I was driving home yesterday, Bob called and said that he had gone into the dining room, and found Pyewacket halfway into the knitting bag, burrowed into a skein of yarn, yarn wound around her head and neck, and looking a little befuddled, like she wasn't exactly sure what to do now. He rescued her, but didn't think to take a picture. I wish he had. The knitting bag is now safely behind closed doors in the downstairs bathroom.
