With any crochet project, I like to gauge the recipient’s response. While the temperature blanket is not done, it has reached the point where it’s a usable lap blanket, which I ended up doing a couple days ago while reading on the sofa. Almost immediately after pulling the blanket off the back of the sofa, Arwen joined me. Not that she’s the intended recipient, I am actually making it for myself. The cats do enjoy the various crocheted blankets around the house though.
It’s not just Arwen… give the choice of three spots on the sofa, Diane will fairly consistently choose the one with the crocheted blanket… unless her favorite lap human is also on the sofa. (That’s not me, I move around too much when I’m awake. She curls up next to me during the night instead.)
At some point, the blanket will be extended across the entire sofa, at which point it’s possible that Arwen and Diane will both be on it at the same time. Much cuteness will ensue.
Ooh I love this! I have attempted a few temperature projects and I just can’t seem to stick with them – I admire the fact that you have! Kitty has great taste.
