In Which the Pirate Presents Feline Friday.

Tropical Storm Andrea is making its way up the coast and it’s a cool, rainy day here. I’m working on the Rusty Stripes sock with the new aluminum needles, and the cats… well, they’ve gone into double-decker mode.

They look so cozy and warm. I can’t really say I blame them.

This afghan needs to be replaced as it doesn’t actually belong to me, so I have to decide if I’m going to make another ripple blanket (iconic! traditional!) or do something modular like this mitred squares pattern. There are pros and cons to each, and I really can’t decide! Which would you make?

Floyd and Kipling seem to like the ripple, but I’m pretty sure they’d like mitred squares just as much.
