I’ve managed to get on with some Norovember knitting which is super. This multi-directional scarf is a super pattern which really shows off the self-striping elements of Noro. I’m ever so pleased with it. Thanks again to Robin for sending me the pattern – I can understand how knitting these can be addictive.

I’ve also been busy with some Noro Kureyon socks. The colours are so bright I think I’d better get my sunglasses out of hibernation. I’m trying to matchy-matchy these so fingers crossed that there isn’t one of the random colour breaks that sometimes happen in Noro skeins. I could have rolled on and had a look but it is more fun this way.
I realised that there haven’t many photos of the cats on the blog lately. So in best blog-torment mode, I approached them to model the scarf.

Phoebe is the best model because she sits there and puts up with whatever I come up to her with.

Ophelia is also a nice calm model. The colour really suits her

Ariel isn’t as well behaved but I figured it would keep the bald patch on her neck warm.

Is it me or is that a look of complete and utter contempt on Perdita’s face?

I think Merlin may have been communicating with Chaos as he started to run away when he saw me coming towards me with the scarf.

I think Ariel’s look is more deadly. Charming models! Cute scarf.
I’m not so sure the assistant looks to happy either! Love the multidirectional scarf!
Good luck with the matchy-matchy. Good thing you had an assistant.
You are so lucky to have a live-in cat model wrangler!!!
Love how the scarf turned out! And, as Jeanne wrote, good luck on the matchy-matchy!
The scarf is so great.
I love it!
Beautiful scarf and love all of the live models.
Yay, Mrs. P. for getting such a good start on the month!
The scarf looks great! You fringed yours – will have to try that on one of mine. I LOVE this scarf pattern. Just looks SO smart. The feline models are so cute!
Mrs. Pao- That Pao, what a wonderful cat wrangler.
Fantastic scarf! Love the socks
*giggle* making sure there is an ample supply of cat hair to keep the scarf charmed, eh? With cats around during the knitting I thought there was enough assurance of that already!
