Last weekend my knitting circle friends came over to my place for Crochet Fest 2010. A few of them graciously volunteered to teach us how to wield a crochet hook.

It was quite fun, and I'm cranking along on a giant granny square, a la
Fricknits,
helloyarn and the
Ravelry giant granny CAL group. I started off with
this tutorial at craftstylish, then checked out
this free pattern from Lion Brand.
The yarn is some Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Chunky that I bought on sale 3 years ago with the intention of learning to crochet and make a ripple afghan. Yeah, that didn't happen...

That is one big fuzzy tummy! We put her on a diet when we first adopted her (she was 7 or 8 at the time), and this is the slimmed-down version of Kylie. Yikes!

She's doing a darn good job of camouflage. I had to look twice.
Hooray for you on two scores: crochet (I'm a fan) and adopting an older cat (also a fan!).
