Socks and more cats

I completed my Vera Socks over the weekend.

These were knit in Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sport. I wasn't thrilled with the patterning that was happening with the yarn, but I decided to just go with it. I actually think they came out kind of neat! And the yarn is so comfy and the socks went by so fast. I promise not to start another pair until Rob's second sock is finished.


Unki's obligatory "I wanna be in the picture!" shot.

I also ran Kitty Pi #2 through the wash one more time and I'm happy to say it was a success. Here's a little photo essay of what happened when it was done.


A happy Kitty Pi!


I put Maggie in to test it.


Unki comes along to see what's going on.


A fight ensues.


Unki is triumphant. Poor Maggie! This scenario happens about 10 times a day. I comforted Maggie with some love and she seemed to be fine. Of course, Unki is only interested in the Kitty Pies when Maggie is in them.

Bad kitty! They do look so cute in those pies.

Your socks are adorable. The pooling worked and looks very cool.

I really like the sock pattern. You are a sock knitting machine! I love the kitty pi storyline. At first I thought Unki might squeeze in with Maggie and they could be snuggle bunnies. I guess not!! I wish I had a kitty! :)
