I have.
Until the helper came it was going okay.
There is nothing like a needy Sphynx trying to get you to cuddle.
She's also a whiney little diva, as you will hear.
Video is not very good, it was webcam on the PC with low light...but you get the idea...

@Silke :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
Love this video and to hear you 'nagging' to eachother. You're saying 'you're not helping' and Pixie meoowing 'why don't you stit still for a moment, I get sick of your arms mooving'.
And then when you're getting used to crochet with her in your arms she adds something new by playin with the wool. But hey...you won!:LOL:

I love to crochet too. My crew only love to run over me when I crochet but for the rest they leave me.

What are you making? Did you crochet the sweater that Pixie wear yourself?

No, the one she's wearing was bought, but it has no size guide in it, or I'd reorder it. It's a perfect fit for her.
The one I'm making is supposed to be a Pixie sweater. It's fleece wool, really thick, purple / blue / pink.
Let's see if I can get it knitted lol.

Mine are always trying to help with the yarn. It drives me crazy. I have to keep all the yarn projects stored behind closed doors - Molly would be the one to have an @Cleopatra Beers incident and need surgery!!

Well, I miscalculated. That wool is so incredibly thick, it shrinks things down considerably. So I have to start over lol.

@Silke sounds very familair. I always need to start over about 10 times. But that's just because I'm clumsy when it comes to crocheting. Not because if the wool:).

Since we have high wind and snow... I think I'll persevere. :)

Still snowing. Since I dug myself out, a path to the stable, the stable, a route to the muck heap.... it's dropped 10cm back on there.

All dug out now. For about an hour, when I have to start all over again, because the wind is blowing it all in front of my door.

This is the "Wall" cleared.

All dug out. For now.
This was after clearing it 3 times already. Give it an hour, and there's another 20cm at least on top of that.

The horses are down in the field -- apparently that's way more fun than eating hay under the shelter.
Stormy has never seen snow like this lol. He kept digging. :)

@Silke I never saw so many snow in reallife! In the Netherlands we hardly get snow and if we do it's about a centimeter high. Not really something to talk about. Must be hard working to dig your way out.

Wish I could have seen Stormy digging in the snow. I once had a dog James. Everytime there was snow James went nuts and run around like he was a puppy again. Loved seeing it:).

OMG, I love that video. ha ha ha. I swear Min and Pixie are cut from the same cloth.

She does that to me while I'm working. Even though I use speech recognition for a lot of computer operations, I still need to mouse and keyboard at times, especially when remoting into a client's computer. It's very hard when I'm being mashed by a naked!!

And I love the conversation you two have going. Yes, Pixie is so hard done by. LOL.

Pixie is clearly very helpful. If it wasn't for her you run the danger of getting something accomplished. Perish the thought!
