An unexpected birthday

Editorial note: So I am back on the right track again. It was so very disappointing to have plenty of time to blog, writing post after post and nothing appeared on the net. My problem: I hat too much time. I upgraded to the new blogger software, tried ambitiously to try another blogsoftware and implement these posts into blogger plus changing my server for pictures. Yeah, well, never change a running system. Something caused a hick-up and while I could see the posts on my computer, they did not appear anywhere else. I found out, that I am not writing these posts just for myself ;-)
Now, everything is back to normal. Or so I hope.

First, congratulations to the birthday boy! As you could have seen in an earlier post, Willy is back! Today, he is one year old. An exciting one, no doubt.
In celebration of this event, I am going to share with you a pattern for a cat toy, which I called Catoy. Ingenious, isn't it?
Meet the toy in action:

[you know this, mouse over!]

Make your cat, puppy, guinea pig or any other loved one too - to get this look. You'll find the link to the pdf-file in the sidebar.

Unfortunately, the star of the party feels rather weak today, in fact he is sick. I think, he might have had a nibble on one of the flowers which came just out for the Easter Holidays.

[Yes, it feels like spring even in Iceland now]

Not good for a little cat's stomach. Naturally, it is only I who feels bad about having to put him on diet and under house arrest on his birthday. He seems to accept his lot more or less. However, his resting places and behaviour simply spell indignation to me.

Cliffhanger for today will be the progress on my Bloomin' Feet socks.
Shout with me "Uh, design, ah, plan B...."
Yes, I do promise knitting content!
