On Saturday, Mr. O'Kitten shared some leftover spaghetti with the chickens. Unfortunately, this hen ran underneath the pasta before it even hit the ground.
Chickens really like spaghetti.
Finished Log Cabin Blankie
The log cabin baby blanket is finished and off to its intended recipient.
I hate seaming, so I decided to do a little cross-stitch across the center to join the two halves. There's an extra little stitch in between each cross to make sure it doesn't shift or gape open.
We speculate that chickens love spaghetti because they think the noodles are giant worms. And they like red stuff, including tomatoes, so it's a natural match, right?
"One thing was certain, that the white kitten had had nothing to do with it--it was the black kitten's fault entirely." (L. Carroll, Through the Looking Glass)
I'm Yankee-Born and Southern-Raised, which makes me kind of Southern Gothic (in the old literary sense of the word). After 15 years in the Big Apple, I spent 4 years on a farm in Michigan raising chickens and llamas and learning to spin, knit, and needle-felt. Now I'm back home in NYC with my much-beloved spouse and one crazy tortiseshell cat. You can also find me on Ravelry.com as okitten.
