Cat on the Lap Crochet ~ Kitty Inspecting and Testing In Progress

Maestro Crochets

 Maestro, who is a very cuddly and affectionate cat

...  but not an actual lap cat ... 

says  "My Turn!

Maestro, who will sit on the cat tree or the sofa next to me while I crochet 

or patiently wait on the bed for me to bring the afghan to her,

must have been feeling a little left out.

As soon as I spread out my WIP on the bed, 

Maestro jumped in to help and check my work ...

and cut my yarn for me. 

Of course, Nutmeg had to also jump up to add her 

help and inspection.

The cats seem to be trying to tell me that either:

(1) this afghan in done as far as their needs are met

or

(2) I need to crochet faster.

My afghan now measures about 62" square with the borders in progress.

I intend to add a few more rounds of the outer border stitch ... 

as soon as the cats get off of it and let me.

 

Patchwork Crochet Purrfection ~ Cat 2

 

Katniss says,

 "My turn on the crochet in progress, Mommy! 

Purrrrease?" 

Cat On The Lap Crochet

 

Progress is being made here at "Cat on The Lap Crochet." 

This is the first round in border one on my 

Patchwork Crochet Squares Sampler Afghan

Here is the Cat On The Lap, Nutmeg.

Every time I sit in my favorite living room chair to make some progress

the cat hops onto my lap.

I put the WIP away when I am not working on it or the cat(s)

 will be making biscuits on it.

The Cat on the Lap is an immoveable object.

I crochet as far as I can around her.

My hook has reached a standstill here on the bottom of the photo.

Here is a snapshot of the Cat on the Lap from Mr. Scrapatches'

 angle from the sofa.

I asked him not to put my "cat-axperated" face in the photo. 

This is the cat settled in on the chair for the night in my WIP.

I very carefully gather the cat in afghan as I stand up. 

Then lay gently lay her down in the warm and comfy nest on the chair. 

How could I resist this "I Love You, Mommy" happy cat face?

With the cat's help I have finished border one in the dark pink yarn

 and am working on border 2 in the light gray.
