Kiss My Knits!

The fat orange cat is back home again! It turns out she had bad ear infections in both ears, which completely demolished her eardrums. Because she had trouble closing her eyes and controlling them, she also developed a corneal ulcer. So now we put drops in her ears every 12 hours, and put goop in her eye every six hours.

She’s not exactly 100% yet. She has a pronounced head tilt. It looks like she’s paranoid and constantly looking over her right shoulder. She also has very poor balance, causing her to flop over every time she shakes her head or sneezes, or sometimes when she walks. Mainly she just holes up in a big cardboard box right now. However, she is at home, and she should continue to get better. We take her back in two days for a re-check of the ears and eye.

Welcome home, freaky paranoid drunken half-blind hermit cat!

Many thanks to knitting community member trillian42 for finding a resource on two-handed multi-color fair isle knitting. I’m sure my stitches will get more even with time, but it worked just fine for what I wanted – which was the Space Invaders hat my husband’s been wanting for aeons.

And here it is! I think this will be the first of many fair isle projects. I feel both geeky and crafty. Woot!

ETA: Someone wanted to see it on the aforesaid husband. Here ya go.
