Who is he who knits, blogs and likes cats? Why Pooky of course! This post is a shameless Pooky plug. He's started a blog that mostly is of photos that we've taken from our crazy adventures across the country. His blog's title is Nearly Sane. He'll probably never post a rant, nor get politically incorrect with his entries, rather he'll dig up a funny or serious image and supply a caption to it.

Recently Pooky made his first felted item, a "ge-felted" fish as he calls it. (I think this play on gefilte fish comes from the fact he dated a Jewish girl in high school.) I loaned him some skeins of my Wool of the Andes yarn (Note to Pooky: You know how you can repay me *wink, wink*) for his felting experiment. Turns out that the front loader washing machine does an awesome felting job. I think he's developed felting madness now.

As for the cats...well, it's mighty peculiar but Theodore Montague, Pooky's baby and love slave, has taken to stalking me for his usual scrubbing! T. has become so affectionate seeking with me that I've nicknamed him my T-leaf. He still will sidle up to Pooky in bed and spent 20 minutes kneading, drooling, and purring loudly at Pooky, yet I'll awake in the morning to find T-leaf curled up at my feet.

I think Pooky needs to felt T. Montague something, maybe a fish or something else. I wonder if Pooky could come up with a potato since T. is fond of potato chips?
