Knitting and reasons for not knitting

First, my knitting content, this is the first sock of a pair that I am making for a friend, it's knitting up well and feels really nice - I promise as soon as I finish teh first sock I'll cast on the second one - in fact I may even cast on the second sock next!




This, is the fifth pair finished for this month, I did in fact only make 6 socks, but I was making pairs for orphans. There may well be a slow down on the knitting front in the short term. Please see below for the reason!






Please meet 9 week old Hecate cat, she loves knitting needles and yarn, thinks her new mum is meant for chewing on and/or climbing over and is cute beyond anything. Cat lovers will understand that to me this seems perfectly reasonable!
