I wonder if they really do have nine lives...

I don't volunteer for testing.

Well no, I wouldn't expect anyone to volunteer, but it's one of those things that makes you wonder how they came up with nine lives for cats. And do they wear one of those counters on them so you know which life they are on?

Probably 'cause cats are so dexterous they're good at avoiding danger?

Iunno. I guess if you're a cat, you'd just know.

They are pretty good at shaking things off, but they aren't the smartest when it comes to other things.

It would be kind of neat if they had a counter on them. They probably do know when they are running low on lives.

LOL. Cats can be pretty derpy.

I think it would be bad if everyone could see the counter tho.

Probably would be bad for the kitty if people could see the counter.

I kind of want to get animal, but we live in such a small apartment that even having a kitty cat would be hard. If we got a bigger apartment I would love to get a dog.

I love animals, too. Maybe you can get a small fish for now? They're not as interactive, but I appreciate having mine.

Even a small fish, no real room for a fish tank of any size. Our counter space is pretty limited, I have all the containers of my yarn and other craft what notness. Speaking of yarn, after this event I have to get back to crocheting blankets. Trying to get a stock pile up so I can start selling the damn things. Not going to make me a lot of money, but enough to continue making other blankets. I want to price them so they are affordable for people to give as gifts.

:o You crochet and sell blankets? May I see them?

Sure! Let me grab a couple off my photobucket page. I happily show you the merchandise.

\o/ Do you have a place you sell them or anything?

This one was a custom make for my old manager. Her son is in love with Minecraft:


I made this for my friend and his wife, they were expecting their first baby:


One that is currently for sale:


Another that is for sale: In this picture it's not complete.


I have a few more that I have completed, but haven't uploaded to Photobucket yet. And of course, the last blanket I made was for a coworker as her daughter is having her first grandchild and I totally forgot to take a picture after I was done. Dag nab it.

Been thinking of using Etsy since it's easy and convenient. But don't have enough stock just yet. Let me take pictures of the other blankets and I can upload them.

LOL. I like your Minecraft blanket!

Doh. I'm sorry you forgot to take a picture. >:C Is it hard selling them after you work so hard on them?

Not really. I do find that specific color combinations are requested, so I might have to rethink having a ready stock on hand. The Minecraft blanket took forever. It's 100 individual crocheted squares, then you take them and put them together through a Technic called sewing. That's the hardest part, is sewing all those little bastards together. Yet, there aren't many people out there that make minecraft blankets and I am sure I could charge a nice price for the blankets and people would pay. I'd probably need to have a few of those in stock prior to posting them for sale because they do take time to make.

I've never seen a Minecraft blanket before! But I've never played the game, so I haven't really looked. How much did you charge for that one?

I charged Sarah the cost of materials. At the time it was made, I was just learning how to do the granny square. Didn't feel right charging her for my time when it was all a learning process. If I made one now and sold it, probably in the neighborhood of $60-$70 depending on the time and materials it takes to make it.

Ah, I see. I think a blanket would be a good present for my lover- He gets cold very often, and I've been considering giving him a snuggy. Can you make snuggies too?

Sadly, I am not that talented. Only very good with that blankets. I can make them bigger too

:c Bummer. Snuggies do look pretty hard to make. 'cause they're half blanket and half sweater? xD

Something like that. Never tried to make a sweater before.

xD The only clothes I can make is a scarf. And I don't think those count.

Those blankets look pretty rad. *o*

I'm sure scarfs count. I haven't made any of those. I really do like the granny squares, they are fun and easy to make.

Thanks, Celeste!

I knit them. I can only knit scarves. :I;;
