It will be kitty's first Christmas. Crazy Cat, his mom just adores trees. But maybe the cat tower will keep them busy.

Oh yes, and i found the ring, so now to wrap and ship!

Digmychicks I'm sad to say I don't think your Xmas tree has a prayer of being upright for Christmas - not with the felines around. Too bad the ornaments don't give off static shock to chase them away.

I have 35 porcelain precious moments ornaments I did not put on for that reason, the buggers!

Morning all

@Teila glad you're enjoying the new equipment!

@bruceha2000 thanks for sending me a link but the video wouldn't load.

@DigMyChicks oh boy, the cats are going to have some fun now! Good thinking on not putting your porcelain ornaments on the tree.

@sunflour you have a knitting machine? How does that work, do you just sort of load up the yarn and put in a pattern?

@CapricornFarm that quilt you made is so pretty!

Yesterday's wind gusts got up to 50 mph, too too much. Today it's as calm as can be and now that seems strange

Time to grab another cup of coffee

Good morning Debby. It was windy here but not that bad. It got to 64*. It’s going to suck when the temp changes.

Morning all...

@drumstick diva , I never have a problem with 'hat hair'.

I'm with you sour, don't understand this whole "hair thing" What's hair?

I have 2 - one knits in the round ( Addi Express King size) and the other knits linearly -(the Ultimate Sweater Machine).

The Addi is too easy - "load" the yarn and turn the handle...but it really is only useful for tubular items, hats or scarfs. Boring after you do a few.

The linear type are more versatile but impossible to use with a rambunctious cat around You control a shuttle back and forth and open/close the needles for what you are doing. It has been in a cabinet since I got Buddy At least the sound of the Addi keeps Buddy at bay

Do you knit by hand too? That and crocheting are things I never could get the hang of. My grandma used to try to show me but she was a lefty and that didn't translate well to my righty brain.

Good morning, all.

I prefer to knit by hand - I learned from a book and you tube I have crocheted afghans, but prefer knitting. Problem is winter dry hands and yarns aren't a good mix

Good morning, all

Hope things are going well for you and the Princess.
