cashmere 30 March 2011
So, I get the old adage that you win some you lose some…eg I got 2 cats and they have taken hold of my best and most expensive hand knitted piece of Lainey Keogh cashmere therefore I have lost that. It’s a red hooded coat that I love. Trouble is, so do they, love it, a lot. So much that they will even share it = unusual: though they’re sisters they usually sleep apart BUT not when there’s a favourite bit of luxurious, artisan-crafted wool involved. I suppose they’d say they’re reinforcing the garment and, in their furry way, they are because it is now part cat – their black and grey hairs woven sneakily into the knit…which may be impossible for me to remove or untangle – if I ever manage to wrestle it away from them without the usual flaying of my hands and legs (and any other bit they can reach) that is…GOOD TIMES, for cats…
