Here it comes - the Big Gay Afghan!

[m31andy]

Well, I did say that I was making the big gay afghan and that I would share pictures. Well, yes. It's taken a while, but here some are. I apologise for the quality, I'm both crap at taking photos and also terrible at remembering to have my good camera on me. These, therefore, were taken with my camera phone in not very good light.







As you can see, the meerkats got involved. Traditionally, knitted and crocheted items are modelled on the owner's cat (for some reason all knitters and crocheters seem to own cats, have owned cats or will own cats in the future. I have no idea why that is.)

Well, anyway. C's cat (see?) seems to be a little concerned about the Big Gay Afghan. Personally, I think that Turing's just unsure of what to make of something that's actually fluffier than he is.

The meerkats (obviously) have no problems with such fluffiness. It's better for Guv's knees and also for Gladys' invisible genitalia. (Next time, he gets to mop up the treacle himself...)

The BGA is not quite done - there's another three stripes to do, but as those stripes are approximately 75m long (and an inch and a half thick), it's going to take me a while to finish. *sigh*

It's really very lovely in a somewhat psychedelic sort of way. *g*

90% of the women I work with knit and have cats... I'm developing a theory that you're all a cult or a new millennia version of the Stepford Wives. *cocks eyebrow in suspicious fashion*

That looks a lot like a screencap from a 1970's meerkat porn flick.

Damn, that looks so soft and fluffy I want to cuddle the photos. When it feels so right, it can't be wrong!

This knitter doesn't have a cat. Yet.

On the other hand, I do have a baby, who demands very loudly to be fed nownownow 57 times a day, so quite cat-like really. Although I think I'm onto a loser with the litter tray idea.

Cause we all love yarn. ;)
Of course, I give you mad props on working with the eyelash stuff. I tried it once and vowed never again.

I wanna roll around in that.

Have to say I tried using eyelash wool once, and vowed never again! :-) I like the look of what you've made, but I hate the feel of the wool myself *shivers*

I knit and have a rabbit. Ha!

That is properly dizzyingly lovely. The afghan isn't bad, either. ;)
