As you know, it's been rather chilly here. So to commiserate with the weather, I decided to sort out my craft box and all the wool I've been amassing over the last few years. Ah, blessed warm wool. I bravely dug deep and dragged out some wool and a few patterns, plus projects started last year
(oops - my bad), and decided to get stuck into them. I'm nearly finished knitting a huge chunky wool shawl in verigated autumn colours, and will post pic when complete. I did happen to complete a santa's bonnet for the cat. I know, it sounds strange, but it's for a local knitting competition.
So, with a ball of half used red that just screamed
'Christmas', I took some measurements (when I could get the tape measure on her), made up a pattern and off I went. My cat was not the happiest of models during the various stages of construction....

| Do I have to? I look like such a dork! |

| Little Cat on the Prairie |
 |
| That's IT! I'm outta here! |
 |
| Oh God... just get it over with! |
And after a few hours - and a few bribes for the cat - the Santa Claws hat was finished! Yes. One project down, many more to go. Now if I could only get the her to look at the camera instead of hiding her face.
Hmmmm....
