Moon, we need to come to an agreement ~
By Sarah | October 24, 2008
The fact that Moon loves the yarn comes as no surprise. I mean cats have been playing with yarn for centuries, right? But, the cashmere Moon? Could you please, please leave the cashmere alone?
In an effort to reach an agreement with our newest feline resident, I’ve kept a tangled skein for him to play with, but the other tangles – they are up for grabs!! Some of you love to untangle yarn – a yarny stress relief for some of you. Or, others of you may simply choose to look at and/or pet the yarn. Either way, it’s yours!
What do you need to do? Just leave me a comment and I’ll pick three names on Monday and announce the winners (I also have a skein of 100% Silk Worsted in a tangle). So, tell me something. Anything. What are you knitting? What are you cooking? What’s your favorite movie? Favorite hand knit?
Look forward to hearing from you…. have a happy weekend!

holy guacamole (that’s my food reference, as I’m more of a re-heater than a cook), no wonder why i can’t score on updates — i clearly cannot leave my computer without missing such fun happenings (though I am sorry your kitty is tangling your lovely yarns, but hey, that cat’s got great taste.)
hmmm, knitting-wise, i;m finishing a shawl and have your vampy merino in mind for my windy city hat. i also just started some violetas (fingerless mitts). i have a feeling there would be something incredibly zen when untangling such yummy yarn. happy sunday.

I am finishing up one of the sleeves for my first Ladies February Sweater and working on a mystery sock along with some wrist warmers and winter hats. And cooking? Today chili and fresh bread.

“The year that Buttercup was born, the most beautiful woman in the world was a French scullery maid named Annette. Annette worked in Paris for the Duke and Duchess de Guiche, and it did not escape the Duke’s notice that someone extradordinary was polishing the pewter. The Duke’s notice did not escape the notice of the Duchess either, who was not very beautiful and not very rich, but plenty smart. The Duchess set about studying Annette and shortly found her adversary’s tragic flaw.

I think my favorite movie (which is also my favorite book) is probably the same as yours.

Hi Sarah, I just can’t resist these tangled skeins! Right now I’m knitting a Wisp (after being inspired by the gorgossity of Throughtheloops’s in your yarn) … in the Cat, that lovely purple Plucky Classic from August…

I love to untangle. Right now I am knitting gloves like crazy for Christmas gifts, which is fun, because this is the first time I have knit gloves!

my friends dog did this to a skein of her yarn yesterday! we spent a relaxing half hour chatting and working together to untangle it. Although, I’m really glad it had time to dry from all the boxer slobber

Tangled yarn is my bag, baby. Okay, maybe not mine, but Bri’s. Yes. He does it for me. Just like packing, plumbing, satellite connecting, fan fixing, water heater installing etc….which is why I’m knitting nothing and baking nothing too.

I would like to teach my cat to DE-tangle and so could really use this as a training tool!! C: hee, hee.

Oh I hope I’m not too late! I have always loved to untangle anything! Right now I’m 2/3 of the way done with my super big family Christmas knitting…scarves for the males with a lion embroidered onto it and the circular geisha scarves for the females….I CANNOT wait to be done with them!
Kate on October 27, 2008 at 12:13 pm.
Am I too late?
Kate on October 27, 2008 at 12:17 pm.
Whoops, I forgot to tell you something. I didn’t get enough sleep last night. Also, I have a stuffed orange octopus. (Worsted silk? Gosh!)

Aww, you just can’t be mad at that sweet little face! Such a cutie! As for what I’m doing…. knitting a cowl for my MIL, a scarf for my mom, a clapotis for me (which is being woefully neglected with all of the holiday stitching)…Rereading Polgara the Scorceress for the umteenth time (I like to read while I knit, but wanted something I barely had to concentrate on), and I’ve got to make soup for dinner tonight, since it’s so nice outside! A high temp below 70 in Texas is something to celebrate!!

Well, I’ve got several things going–a top-down raglan that I hope to have done for a trip to Boston next month, a headband to keep my ears warm at my son’s soccer games, and a pair of fingerless mitts (in Miss Dashwood) so that I can knit and not freeze my fingers off at afore mentioned games.

Don’tcha just love helpful kitties! I too have come home to a yarn explosion with my can sleeping right in the middle of it! How can you be mad at that little face?!?! LOL!
Ashley on October 29, 2008 at 10:42 pm.
oops! And right now I am knitting or trying to knit a handbag.
Rachel on November 2, 2008 at 6:05 pm.
Ooo, I hope I win! I love your stuff – it’s so gorgeous! Hmmm, right now I’m knitting a Christmas scarf. Yes, very obvious gift, but it’s Cashmere, which should be a treat to have around the recipient’s neck!
