Meet Stella
Stella is my mom's cat, and unlike my darlings Pan and Java... she is interested in knitting.
I was very lucky in adopting two cats who don't really care about yarn. Yarn in balls is left entirely alone, yarn dangled in their faces as I knit with a cat in my lap rarely gets more than an ear-flick, and although Pan has an affinity for fiber and may be trying to learn to spin, he doesn't harm anything.
Stella is another story.
Thankfully she doesn't feel the need to sit in my lap, but my mom has to fend her off for knitting purposes. But look at the socks she's stalking there...
Yarn: Steinbach Wolle Sockenwolle - a Valentine's gift from Rebel made into a gift for a mystery recipient ;)
Needles: 2.25mm Inox Express
Started: 11/4/08
Finished: 11/12/08
The socks are my standard plain ol' socks pattern, though slightly larger since they are not for me. (That's not really a hint, almost everyone I know has larger feet than I do.) Sorry the picture is a little blurry, I forgot to take it until a few minutes ago and the daylight is receding a bit but red + flash = not pretty.
I have a couple more pairs of socks in progress, but one encountered a little setback today when I discovered that the yarn is a little more stripey than I realized, and I didn't match the stripes when I started the socks. Obviously I could not just let this go like a sane person, so I ripped out my pair of roughly 1 inch sock cuffs and am starting again with my freaky stripe matching tendencies.

Stella is such a cutie - but a cat interested in knitting is never a good thing. Very nice socks!
