ME: Cat, get off of my sweater and let me finish knitting it. You’ve been hogging it for almost 2 weeks.
CAT: {Defiant glare}
ME: What if you just lay on the part I’ve already knit and I’ll just work on the sleeve.
CAT: {Yawns and rolls over to show me his kitty junk}
ME: {drags sweater with cat on top of it onto my lap an…d begins to knit} Share, damn you!
CAT: {Purring and cuddling} Stupid human.

Cat: 2 - Pipp: 1

Finished the sweater this afternoon…while kitty was napping on the stoop.

Tie game!!

design notes:
19 repeats for the arms and the body.

I was so worried that it would be too small because when I slipped it ont before blocking it it was rather Winnie-the-Pooh-ish in length.
BUT…I took a leap of faith that my fellow Ravelers were not kidding about how much this sweater would bloom/grow with blocking. I am delighted to report that they were all correct….as they always are. It may even be a little too roomy…and that says something as I am amazon like at 5’8’ with a medium to large frame. I decided to toss it into the dryer for just a few minutes to get it to tighten up…just a tad so it wouldn’t be quite so frumpy.
Pictures will be posted tomorrow when I have good lighting. For now, its bedtime and it needs to dry overnight.
