It is to be noted that while cats are not allowed on "hard" furniture or counters (no tabletops, desks or bookcases), any "soft" spot is open for use. The bookcase is within cat-arm's reach of the back of an overstuffed chair, a circumstance which clearly puts me in the wrong for having placed temptation too close at hand. That said, as I attempted to work a few more rows today, the tangled guts of the skein eventually proved too tedious to pick apart every few stitches. I gave in and pulled the skein apart to rewind with a mechanical winder. My new sock-in-progress will be hidden safely away from prying paws tonight!
365Caws is now in its 14th year of publication, and was originally intended to end after 365 days. It has sometimes been difficult for me to find new material, particularly during the winter months, but now as I enter my own twilight years, I cannot guarantee that I will be able to provide daily posts. It is my hope that along the way I may have inspired someone to a greater curiosity about the natural world. If so, I can rest, content in the knowledge that my work here has been done.
