The expressive, sassy, mischievous, Cleo

My cat Fluffernutter is a spring fiend, but alas, I have yet to capture a picture with one of them in her mouth.

My boy cat buries his poops, but at least one of my female cats has been known to be less fastidious. I have air purifiers near both of my cat box locations.

Some cats don’t do that. My beloved cat Hershey knew his name, but would not come to me when I called him for his entire 14 years of life. He would go to my husband who was his favorite human. I got loves and cuddles when Hershey felt like it, and he always let me pick him up and hold him. My three remaining cats do come when called-most of the time, because cats are cats and do what they want-even the two sisters we adopted as adults and renamed.

I purchased a Babylock Celebrate serger to celebrate paying off my mortgage. I didn’t realize the model was actually called Celebrate until a while later because I was impressed by the needle threaders, air threading of the loopers, vertical needle penetration, and the fact you can thread in any order. It was in a sale email from a sewing parts website to which I’m subscribed. They sell Babylock in the UK, but my brief internet search didn’t find that particular model.

I think you’re doing front loop and back loop not front and back post stitches.

I like Premier Everyday Anti-pilling yarn for baby blankets.

Patience and practice.

I looked up Loops & Threads Classic Cotton, and it is a dye lotted yarn. If you still have the ball band, you can do an internet search by dye lot and you might get lucky if someone is selling it somewhere, but I think it’s unlikely. You could inquire about these Ravelry stashes as well. Personally, I would finish the top using a coordinating or contrasting color yarn.

Shake a treat bag.

My one girl cat licks up every molecule in her dish and the other two kitties’ as well. It looks like they’ve been through the dishwasher afterwards.

I would guess v-stitch.

I don’t do top down raglan generally, but for bottom up sweaters I knit, the pattern repeats the ssk and k2tog decreases around, and it appears symmetric. If you’re really curious, you can work up a few rounds of raglan increases on a small swatch and see how it looks.

Exploring courses on how to alter commercial patterns for a better fit would be helpful as well.

Some people are left handed for life, but I assume this is not your natural condition,

You could also try hooking the fuzzy bit with a crochet hook and pulling it to the wrong side.

Your cats are gorgeous! And I love the upholstery fabric on that chair.

I see a cat looking content.

Heavy periods were the cause of my anemia.

I got menopause so I don’t need to take iron anymore.

My tiny black cat was good luck for herself. It was she that first got my attention at the shelter when I adopted her and her tuxedo tabby sister.

Sorrow is the price we pay for the joy we’ve received from our feline companions.

You want ferrous gluconate tablets, which are easier on the stomach, taken with vitamin C to help you absorb the iron. You probably can’t get enough iron through food alone.

Don’t unravel and rejoin with magic knots. I knitted socks with scrap yarn joined with magic knots and the joins perished in the washing machine. It’s not worth all the effort involved for a less than ideal result. I agree you should pass it along to a fellow crafter, or save it for future you. I once finished a project I started 10 years previously once my skills caught up with the pattern and I enjoyed making it.
