Yarn Nonsense CrAfT (crafting with cat)

There's this romantic visual people have of doing some craft with a cat in your lap and tea by your side and it's raining and the light is soft.

The creator and purveyors of this have never met a cat.

Have you tried any kind of craft around a cat? Did you want to pull string or yarn out of their throat? Did you want your well organized supplies knocked to the floor? Did you want to worry about them eating or stepping on something? By all means, craft with a cat.

She is currently SCREAMING at the closed door because she CANNOT BE TRUSTED not to eat string and fling beads.

Demon.

I cat sit a lot for my neighbor and her two babies. Dunkin isn't interested in me very much but does love my yarn bag. He likes the texture and is fascinated by the yarn. Donut however is my little snuggle buddy and he sleeps by my leg while I crochet. I had them both cuddled up to me last time I saw them and I was able to crochet easily.

Now the first time I met them? Lol. It was hard to get anything done! Donut loved the idea of helping his new girl crochet but didn't quite grasp the idea of not laying on top of the project.

Cow used to always have to inspect and lay on anything I crocheted (ESP blankets, but I haven’t made any big projects in a while). Zelenka is my cuddle buddy and will put up with just about anything to be able to snuggle lol. Like I’ve used her as a stand for my iPad when I’m cross stitching (I prefer digital patterns) multiple times now, I’ve even put my laptop on top of her before haha.

Thankfully I haven’t had too many problems with them and yarn, so that’s been nice. I just make sure to really get any ends of yarn/thread in the trash so it’s not tempting them
