I got this basket from a woman I used to work with some years ago. She&#8217;d bought it for her cat who had turned her nose up at it. I was rather surprised when our cats actually liked it and used it. As I wrote before it is tatty looking now because they&#8217;ve been sleeping in it for years but they like it. The pic is a bit bright but it is representative of just how white Jake&#8217;s fur is!<\/p>\n<p>Art Fibers order &#8211; the yarn I ordered is actually for two scarves. One will be made from the lovely Oz the other from Cartier and Nemo. Inspired by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.skinnyrabbit.com\/\">Becky<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/knitbynora.blogspot.com\/\">Nora&#8217;s<\/a> scarves from combining various yarns I&#8217;ve started a new scarf in some Anny Blatt Angora Super in Black, Mutine from Bouton d&#8217;Or in Prune and a coordinating unnamed wine coloured chenille that I bought on a cone during my trip to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.undyarns.co.uk\">Undy Yarns<\/a> some time ago. They&#8217;ve all been sitting unused in my stash for at least a year, the Mutine and chenille for longer, so it&#8217;s a good stash busting project. I&#8217;m knitting it in a drop stitch pattern since Becky&#8217;s looked so delicious! And the Angora Super is just amazing! It feels so soft and wonderful!  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yes, it&#8217;s a commercial concept but Andy and I are old romantics! \ud83d\ude42 Andy&#8217;s is the hearts one &#8211; which was screenprinted in Buffalo, NY.
