He entered my room, saw the sweater on the bed and plonked right down on it. He won't leave. Please help.

Well, someone would prefer if the sweater were a blanket...

Weaving in ends is hard

She just came and sat here like I was doing nothing 

My cat understood immediately the purpose. 

He now has a throne-bed on my lap.

Originally posted in r/knitting but I was told about this sub’s existence and so now here I am sharing the beautiful boy to more eyes!! 

Finished cat sweater!!

The fit is not amazing by any means (I freehanded this with no sweater experience and no research and I have definitely learned a lot for the next one) but I’m so proud of it!! He looks adorable 

The sweater was a bit big on Bubbie and the neck was a bit awkward, but I now have Experience and Knowledge and have confirmed my distaste of DPNs (at least the ones I have) when I accidentally dropped entire needles of stitches multiple times 😭 though now I’m pretty good at picking them back up (except edge stitches 😫) 

I crocheted the edge border on the arm hole because I honestly did not want to figure out picking up stitches for knitting today 😂 

Main takeaway from this for me for next time: the back near the shoulders needs a dart of some sort to accommodate arm space without making the back of the shoulders have too much fabric because it is making him able to walk right through/out of it 

I hope you enjoy!! And please give the Bubbie validation so that he let’s me sleep tonight and doesn’t come for me for all of the try-ons between yesterday and today 😂

I'm working on a 1940s sweater for my first color work project. It has an abstract floral print at the top of the bodice so I'm transferring the tiny image of the color chart that comes from a scanning of the original knitting magazine onto graph paper and of course Calcifer thinks I've laid out this nice paper for him 😝

Well... I WAS working on my color chart

Void is “helping”. Pls excuse my messy tension. This is a new stitch for me. Swipe to see more void. 

Supervisor came by to test out the project, and has given his stamp of approval. 
Given he is now in my lap, I guess I won't be getting up anytime soon.

Project approved by supurrrrrrrvisor 

He was sitting on my lap, then suddenly jumped up, picked up my yarn, jumped on the bed and started fighting it

He’s going to ruin my shawl but I just can’t be mad. We are each others favorite it’s only natural he’d love what I love.

 Anyone else out there think mom’s knits are the best place to make biscuits and snuggle? 

Nothing like a few encouraging kisses before starting the hours long Italian bind off.
