caffaknitted: Bad Kitty!

Bad Kitty!
Over the summer, Dave and I adopted what seemed to be the sweetest cat in the world. Slim is so incredibly docile. He loves belly rubs. He's a great foot warmer. However, after about a month, we began to see an entirely different aspect of his personality...bad kitty.
Suddenly, the same cat that had spent hours laying blissfully across my lap, was ambushing me at every corner. He'd climb my leg like a tree, do a backflip, and run out of the room in 3 seconds flat.
And then there is the whining. If he's hungry, bored, or ready to go outside and chase the chickens, he is unbearably whiney.
That being said, he is still the best cat in the world. He still love belly rubs. Every cat needs a dose of crazy, right?
My daughter did a couple of portraits of Slim. One is titled "Bad Kitty!", featuring an adorably diabolical cat with claws and fangs, and the other is, of course, titled "Good Kitty".
And so came the idea for Reversible Cat! Reversible Cat is two cats in one. He flips back and forth through a flap in the back, much like one on a pillow sham. Both cats are knit in the round. The toy is one piece. When you look at bad kitty, good kitty is folded neatly inside of him, and vice versa. It sounds complicated, but it's actually a really simple concept. Reversible Cat is a moderately easy knitting pattern. It includes a photo tutorial and templates for the felt pieces. You can find it in my Etsy store, or you can purchase it on Ravelry.

This guy is absolutely crazy. AND it is so true of every cat that has allowed me to live with him or her. They lure you in with their sleepy ways and rubbings and then ... wham ! Up the drapes, across the blinds, stabs at the furniture, through the water bowl and zooooooom.... Next - the long winter's nap. Sheesh.

PInk Fringe Hat
I met Piazza at the Stephen Jones exhibit wearing a stunning silver hat and grey coat. She came all the way from Detroit to hear Mr. Jones speak, and see some of his marvelous hats on display. Piazza is wearing one of her own creations above, a favorite of her customers in Detroit.Signs of Real Homesteaders in Ontario – Rock Caches
a video by Well Preserved on Flickr.
Post 2 of 3 sharing small videos from deep within Ontario’s Forests which show ancient signs of our past…
Large piles of rocks (known as ‘caches’) often marked ‘cornerposts’ of settlements. This is just down the road from the rock foundation we shared in yesterdays video.
These caches were made long ago – it’s amazing to find them in the middle of the woods in areas which are visited by 10 or fewer people a year (in all likliehood they are seen only by 1; 10 is avery conservative estimate).
It amazes me to know that hunters likemy Father (and many of the men I hunt with) can walk into the middle of the forest and deliberately take someone to visit long forgotten ruins of settlers like these. There really is a magic to places like this.
