Operation Scarf; Complete
I finished making my scarf. It’s nice and long (longer than me, and I’m not a shorty like Yankee Elv). It matches a beanie I made a while ago for Yankee Elv, which unfortunately (for her) fits my head shape better than hers. So technically the scarf is for her, but I’ll probably end up wearing it.
Knitting, crocheting and all that crafty stuff is good for the environment. You can reuse yarn, buy second-hand or unravel and old jumper very easily, and it’s a nice non-consumerist way to give gifts. It always means more to get a homemade gift which has been created especially for you, with your tastes in mind. Plus, it’s an eco-friendly way to occupy yourself. No electricity required, which is becoming increasingly rare! (She says, whilst blogging in a lit room, on a plugged-in laptop).
Anyway, here are the cats modelling said scarf. Sorry Pou isn’t in there, but she’s not into that kind of thing. She’s having a ‘don’t touch me day’ anyway (perhaps to make up for a cuddly day yesterday.. it’s all in balance). I think Diva Princess makes up for it.
I tried to get Fatso and Princess to model for me, but Fatso got so excited by the photography he had to come over for a pat. So much for that.
Princess, on the other hand, is the ultimate poser. I have been taking photos of her since she was born (actually, while she was being born), so she knows what to do.
Princess goes for a sleeping shot. Look at those whiskers! And the scarf, of course.
All lit up and pretty!
Cosy and warm, just waiting for a snuggle.
She’s so cute! The scarf looks toasty too.
