Snuggles

Wolfe Farms has a podcast out too for these pet blankets.  Haven't seen the vidcast yet so I am not sure if the ladies are giving out something or not.  But since I haven't gotten an email from the Oregon Humane Society or the Oregonian offshoot of the Snuggles Project, I am casting on with all the small odd ball acryllic yarn that I have.  They might not be the prettiest but they will be functional.  I cast on 90 stitches and it looks like its going to be a 15 x 15 instead of a 14 x 14 (inches).  So I should just go for 80 stitches next time.  Am going for my own pattern... just started it and think I am going to go for 5 knitted rows, then knit 5 purl until the last 5 and knit.  Then knit the next row, then the knit purl knit row until it is almost done, then do the last 5 rows as knit.  Probably look like a very large, abused washcloth or dishcloth.  But think it will work.  ( whew, thought that I just deleted most of this post!)  I know that with my cats will sleep on pretty much anything that feels good. Plus this was a good excuse to stop playing farmville of facebook for a bit, been a little obsessive about the game-sort of want to catch up to my aunt but gotta do some knitting and try to catch up on the 28 knitting videocasts that I have on my itunes playlist!
