Ever notice how kitties love to be right there with you, assisting, while you're knitting? And of course they've always got to help you when you're photographing your work for your blog. So rather than a shot of the amazing raised waffle dishcloth I'm knitting I offer you this profile of Slashables instead. Looks mighty cute, doesn't he?
owh I have the same problem and when you have 2 kitties wanting to be in the photo at the same time its hillarious.

What a handsome photo! Yes, I so remember the cats we had growing up who just loved to be right next to my mom when she was knitting or crocheting -- they love the gentle motion of the pulling yarn, the companionship, and always hope that the "something" is being made in their size, I think!

What a pretty kitty! But you're right. I don't know how many times I've had to crop a paw or a fluffy tail out of my photos! My smallest kitty loves to chase the thread when I'm doing any kind of hand-sewing. I can only imagine how crazy he would go if I knit!

aww very cute kitty! I blogged about my kitty crafting buddy too today.

He's a beauty! And isn't it oh so true -- they must be knitting, sewing and picture taking at all times!

LOL! What is it about felines? My cats have to help me sew, and whatever other craft I'm doing. When someone comes to repair something, my one cat thinks she's the foreman. She'll walk herself right out there and plunk herself in the middle of it all. It just cracks me up. Yes-your kitty is very handsome, and I'm sure he's quite an accomplished knitter. (At least in his own mind!) LOL! Thanks for the giggle. He's too cute!

I just want to hug him!

Absolutely gorgeous cat! :D I think that he beats a knitted cloth hands down!!! :) I like knitting but you can't get a smooch from a cloth!

I received two of your creatures in a giveaway hosted by Robin at The Queen of Perseverance back in December. I wanted to let you know how much I have enjoyed them! I featured them on my blog today and I just wanted to let you know that I really appreciated your generosity. They are so CUTE!!!

He's adorable! As for the weather -- oh, I'm so jealous of all of the flowers and the warm weather. I need some spring -- think you could wish some up my way?

Cute!

You should sell him on Etsy! :D I bet he'd fetch a pretty penny.

kitties like to help knit, bunnies like to help weave chainmaille

Pretty kitty. Mine love to "help," too. They especially love to help with reading, which requires that they sit on my book.
Posted by: Shannon | February 08, 2008 at 10:04 AM
He is very cute! Mine love to help with knitting & photography too. :)
