I love my cat.

Every time I work on my full-size rainbow blanket, Dewey sleeps on it, without fail. I lost the yarn I needed to finish the full-size one (it has since been relocated and the blanket can finally be finished). So, I worked on a blanket just for Dewey instead out of scrap yarn! I was a little worried he wouldn't sleep on it, as anything you get specifically for him to sleep on gets avoided like the plague. This one is different though! He sleeps on it every day :)








And he looks so cute on it!!






I've also been working on the Spirit of Adventure pattern! I made one attempt that turned out to be way too skinny. This next attempt seems to be working out well, it's more balloon-shaped, and it's about halfway done; I'll make sure I post pictures before I felt it! I'm not sure how exactly I'm going to do the letters; I don't want to chart it, I just don't know if I want to stitch it on before I felt it or after.
I'm hoping this will turn out as cute as I'm imagining it!
I wish I knew more about short-rows because I think it might make the shape better. I can do short rows in patterns but I have no idea how to actually write them into a pattern.


As a side note, there's only two weeks left until I'm done with classes, and I can devote my time fully to work and knitting! I am SOO EXCITED!

Yes, your cat is preposterously cute. As for the short rows, try doing a practice short row pocket (like the toe of a sock) so that the concept is fresh in your mind and go from there. I'll bet you can figure it out. :)
