Comet and nothing

We had lots more snow last week and school was cancelled on both Monday and Tuesday. Max had a great time body-sledding in the front yard on the giant mound of snow that was removed from our driveway. While I was watching Max play--I was inside and warm--I found Comet doing a common cat thing and staring at nothing. Or perhaps they were fairies that are invisible to humans. In any case, she seemed content to just stare.

Look at the ruff on that cat. I know it's hard to see, being white on a background of white, but take my word for it, it's huge.

One minute later, she tired of keeping watch over the fairies and let out a huge cat-yawn. No, she's not trying to eat them.

Looking at Comet's ruff made me want to knit a neck warmer to keep my neck as warm as hers. I tried something, but it didn't work out as planned. I think it would work with a modification, but I don't think I'll get to it because in the meantime I discovered that my Calorimetry works pretty well, I just tie it to fasten behind my neck (I've long ago given up on the button, I just tie it now), and then I can pull the front part up as high as I want. It keeps my chin and nose warm during my sunrise walks in the frigid air. I don't think I ever posted a picture of it here, but I did make one, as did almost everyone else. I make it out of Noro something or other. As for everyone else, it's kinda big and I keep thinking of felting it, but with this new use as a neck warmer I think I'll keep it as is.

That is a gorgeous cat! How lucky to capture her yawn on film (or rather digital), too. And I love neckwarmers; they make more sense than a scarf, I think. I've been meaning to crochet one (still can't knit!). So nice that you were able to repurpose your Calimetry!

Oooh, that is some pretty knitting! Hope all is well in Flag. I'm envious of your snow. :)
