Knitting & Cats
i'm struggling these days splitting my extra curricular time between my 2 strongest passions (okay obsessions): knitting and blogging. i know it's bad when i start to plan my day the evening before based on how i can fit in both. lately the blogging (reading blogs and thinking about what to blog) has been winning. this is not a bad thing per se, except that i want to keep the momentum going on my sweater.
i've actually finished the front about a week ago.
but back to the subject at hand. i've been reading a lot of knitting blogs these past few weeks and found, through no real scientific method, that a good portion of the knitters out there in blogland have cats.
what is it about knitters and cats? were we once cats in a pervious life? is that when the love for yarn (i know, i know, obsession with yarn) began? i can see it now, me as a cat, jumping in some old ladies yarn basket (because you know that back in the day only old ladies knit ... right?), and getting all tangled up in the yarn.
i bet if i could take a poll to find out how many knitters have cats that i would be able to conclude that the vast majority of us have cats.
here are some goofy pictures of our two cats, sasha (~20-years old) and mia (mia is a 17-year old male ... long story about how he got his name).

i will leave you with a link to an extremely funny blog dedicated to cats (not knitting) since i know that some of my readers and maybe lurkers have cats and will appreciate the humor. be warned, i laughed so hard when i read this blog that i almost wet my pants.

That's an interesting thought . . . we were all once cats. If that is case you'd think we'd all have yarn strung up around our houses. LOL
