We could have that discussion but I wouldn’t want to distract from finding out more about your original statement - could we focus on that first?

It’s the “giving” part that’s unacceptable babes … why should we have to wait to be given anything?

A ginger kitten being scritched behind the neck by a boys hand in a black sweater

So in today’s episode of “Finding Nemo” …

Wee ginger kitten is out from under the library cupboards and is actually being scritched and purred by my big kid who has always been the cat whisperer.

Now I am sure he will hide out again today - but he is eating and drinking and being petted! WIN

Plan B with my ranunculus sweater - my youngest has fallen in love with it and has managed to find another ball of yarn to make it even longer!

They will get so much more use out of a longer length pretty apricot sweater.

So …Ripped back the twisted rib and adding another 100g of length onto it!

twisted rib that my granny taught me - knit through the back of the loop then purl. Just makes it a little tighter, more defined and I think neater xx

Two completed knitted sleeves with twisted rib cuffs in pale apricot yarn

Still snuffling and as it’s chucking it down outside I am not in the garden.

Sat and completed the second sleeve of my ranunculus sweater though so only a few more inches of body and a waistband to go and it will be done!

Off to have a call for a new project with an old colleague xx

Two stainless steel cat bowls - one with water and one licked clean of food

In today’s episode of “Finding Nemo”!!!

The Ginger one is still under the library units BUT ….

Good wee lad has eaten all his supper, a handful or crunchies and drunk up a good bit of water.

Litter box has also been used so I call that “proof of life”

The end of an apricot sleeve with a twisted rib cuff

Full of a cold today - but I did finish one sleeve and cuff on my ranunculus sweater.

Two eyes from a ginger kitten hiding under a unit

Well we have “found Nemo” again - still under the library units

He ate wet food,crunchies and water and used his litter box overnight so happy for him to keep hiding till he’s ready to come out.
