Someone has had his feelings hurt because his photo was just stuck over there on the sidebar without the proper introduction that his brother Lewis received.
Allow me to introduce the Superintendant of Knitting. His name is Clark. His duties include rolling on the yarn, knocking the needles on the floor, and his favorite of all - assisting with color selections. He is like a feline color wheel. I lay out the selections and he taps on the ones that go together. I am working on getting my local yarn shop to allow him to come in. They tell me they are strongly considering it.
I began knitting in January 2005. I obviously had some inkling that this was going to be a date I would want to verify later since I recorded it in my everyday journal (I like to provide evidence to back up facts on this blog). Clark says he is available to assist with your yarn color selections as well. Simply send a sample of colors you are considering and I will respond with his recommendations.
Now, isn't he a good looking superintendent of knitting. That's what I need to guard over all my yarn.

do you think he'll want to meet the cute mole i just caught behind my bed?

uh.. well.. he might want to meet a cute mole but even though he is the superintendant of knitting, I am the BOSS of the house and I say NO to the moles. Cute or not.

What a fine superintendent of knitting. I have my two art journal protectors Hank & Tyler. They love to lay on my art journal to ensure it is safe and to feel the love that comes out of it.
You've really take to this blogging thing! Cheers to that!!!

Such a handsome guy! Gotta love a cat with a sense of style...

Your cat does work???? Picking yarn colors for you??? My cat tells me that his only job is to do whatever it is HE wants to do whenever HE wants to do it. And I always give him the wrong flavor of canned food. Always. That's what my cat does.
I am so envious that a cat who will do something for the staff person (remember always: Dogs have masters, cats have staff) has agreed to live in your house.
A cat who will help. Man, that's a concept I am having a hard time accepting!

Both of your furry assistants are gorgeous. :)

Clark did so well with those colours he's lying on, a lovely combination. Of course, they had to go with his fur too.
I learned to knit when I was 4, taught by a neighbour while Mum was in hospital. This meant that when we were taught at school, age 7, I thought I was Miss Know-Everything. However, one thing I had never learned to do was casting on. I was so determined not to reveal this that with a rush of adrenaline (frightened by the teacher) I cast on out of nowhere, just invented a row.
I can knit faster than any continental person I've met because I learned to hold the needles the English way. Are you a speedy knitter?

Speedy? Not me, but I do love it all the same. You'll have to demonstrate your cast on method for me sometime.
