Once in a blue moon, I really do finish things. Or at least thing. Remember that stuffed kitty I meant to knit about a year-and-a-half ago? Yeah, I barely remembered it either. I finally sewed it and stuffed it, though, and embroidered a little kitten face on it, so that I could give it to my grandmother for Christmas.

My grandmother knit a few things for me when I was a kid, so I wanted to knit something for her. She doesn’t need scarves and hats in her nursing home, and she likes stuffed animals, so I decided on the knitted kitty. I also thought it would be nice to get a picture of the kitty with a sweater that Grandma made for me when I was little.

It’s not a very good photo, but for once that isn’t my fault. I was trying to keep That Darn Cat off the sweater. She became fascinated with the horse sweater as soon as I tried snapping a photo. Evil thing.

The dog demands that there be equal-opportunity cuteness.

That is Honker, her Christmas goose. He honks. Or at least he will honk until she manages to kill his honking mechanism. That’s one of her favourite hobbies. The dog leads a rich and rewarding life.

I also finished knitting the Heartbreakingly Cute Baby Kimono, although I did not add the ribbon to it, and actually, I never will. My mom’s going to do that, but she has promised to send me a photo of it once it is beribboned. How much do you want to bet that the babies will have outgrown the baby kimonos already? (My cousin’s wife had twins, so my mom and I each knit a baby kimono.) Eh, it’s the thought that counts.

I am also very close to finishing the Mystery Intarsia Project, and since almost everyone I know in real life has already seen it by now, including its intended recipients, I figure there’s no point in taking a photo until it’s actually finished.

Stop laughing, it’ll happen.
