Day 227: I took the handspun blanket off the loom day before yesterday and set myself to the task of tying the warp threads together in pairs, preparatory to crocheting an edge around it. Tippy jumped up on my lap, sniffed it all over, inhaling the sheepy scent of the wool, patted it a few times and settled in for a nap. When I got up, I folded the blanket in quarters and, since he seemed to like it, laid it over the arm of the chair so that part of it was on the seat. He promptly settled in, and when I say "settled in," I mean SETTLED IN. He did not budge off the blanket for at least six hours! My original intention for this 48" x 60" throw was to donate it to my favourite environmental group, but it seems it has a higher calling. I can always make another one for the Land Trust.
