2. The circular needle is going to work out.

Unfortunately, Baby Belle, Audrey's kitten, found the project overnight. I found the yarn hanging down from the table I'd left it on this morning and began reeling it in. A chewed end of yarn was all that came up.

I found the project, still on the needle, in the hairiest cat bed in the house. The yarn is accounted for, so she didn't eat it anyway. I know it was her because the hairs I'm still removing from the project are all silver gray. (Audrey and Fast Eddie are black.) I spent my lunch hour making sure no stitches were dropped, picking back until I had a long enough end to weave in, starting a fresh length of yarn and doing a few more rows.

Crafts and cats are an... interesting combination. I'll have to be more careful to secure it away. I keep imagining her in that bed all night, muttering "Mine, all mine." At least she seems to have treated it like a baby kitten, instead of like a mouse. It's remarkably intact, considering.
