Blanket Statement - according to Flo!


Meow meow everyone, Florence here. I thought I'd take this opportunity to tell you all about some of the knitty goings on here recently. Now if you're a regular visitor, you'll know all about my love of yarn and woolly things in general. In particular, I have a 'thing' about resting on knitted objects. They are so cosy and comfortable, and if they are left lying around, it's like my Mum is inviting me to come and sit on them. I think it would be rude to ignore them, don't you?! Here's a quick reminder of some of my favourite items of bedding........

Last year I was thrilled when Mum finally finished the 64 Crayons blanket; however my attempts to be the sole-occupier have been thwarted by human intervention!!

So when I heard rumours about a knitspot blanket club, my little heart soared! Mum was going to knit me my very own blanket! What a special cat am I?! The first instalment of the pattern was released on Tuesday, and Mum spent some time sorting out yarn and a project bag. This is a Super Spud bag, perfect for blankets, available from ThreeBagsFull. I hung around, all casual-like, to keep an eye on proceedings.

I monitored progress yesterday evening from my spot on the sofa.

This morning, Mum had a big 'tah-dah'! moment. I must say I was a bit surprised, I hadn't expected her to finish it quite so quickly. So you can imagine how I felt when I saw what she was celebrating. I mean, take a look for yourself!

I tried to make an impressed face, but really - is she having a laugh?!

I did my best to lay down on it, honestly.

But there's no other way of putting it - it just ain't big enough!! Now are you going to tell her or am I?! Meow meow meow!  xxx

This is hilarious and some of those photos are priceless especially the one of Flo fitting onto the sock!

Bridget said...

Flo, you are such a pretty kitty, and clearly a good helper!

Lynne said...

Flo, you are a gem!! I do like your supervising from the sofa - every site needs a foreman, or should that be forecat?... You might need to be a bit more patient and wait a bit longer for your blanket, and then maybe you could keep your paws off the rest of the knitting!

So much fun! Flo, you are the perfect "knit-worthy" kitty!

Unknown said...

Aw Flo :) You just need to be patient lol

Jennyff said...

She has obviously spent too much time with the sewing machine and neglected your needs. I'd have a word with the Cats Protection if I were you.

Cynthia said...

Patience, miss flo! Helen will get it done, forthwith!

I know I have to put my cat up when I cut fabric, or she'll sit on it.
