My first pair of knitted socks, finished! ( Yes, I do understand how to match the stripes, but I had to add new yarn halfway through the second one and simply made a mistake.) But I don't mind about that. I KNITTED THEM AND I LOVE THEM! #knittingtwitter

He wasn't much of a pet person, Scott told me when we first met. But that was 20 years and four cats ago. The really sweet thing is how much Tigerlily absolutely ADORES him. The Look of Love.

I never get over how fabulous Bumblebee's markings are. Not to mention that he has the thickest, softest coat I've ever felt in a kitty! He's a rescue from Cats Protection, but I like to think he may have some British Shorthair in him. Sturdy, cobby body and round head, too!
