Soooo… I should mention that I got an iPad mini for christmas. Normally I wouldn’t mention it but I’ve taken to spending a lot of time on it and taking quite a few photos with it. They aren’t as clear as my regular camera, but they sync to my computer auto-magically and I’m quite taken with my new toy.
This is my way of saying: Picture quality may go down around here… until the shiny and new factor wears off a bit.
But! You’ll get extra candid pictures of Katie!

So black cats are hard to photograph anyway, most of the time you get a black puddle of fur:
sometimes they’ve made a mess (kibble everywhere) that detracts from the photo:
Sometimes the background is less than ideal (black on black huh, what was I thinking):
And sometimes the angle isn’t the most flattering (fuzzy butt wants treats, and still with the messy kibble!):
But then you use your proper camera and catch her napping:
and because you are weird you take a picture of her limp tail:

Hmmm…. this was supposed to be about knitting/crafting… let’s get into that!
Current WIP’s
1. Sparkle socks
Still on the first one, I really should pull it out more often than just lunch time at work.
2. Colour Affection
Added in the third colour and I’m 3 repeats into the short row section! Didn’t take a picture though…
3. NEW PROJECT! Amigurumi Dragon
Supposed to be 14in high, 34in long with a 54in wingspan… I really hope it is as epic as it sounds. 
So far so good.
4. NEW PROJECT! Doll outfit
The next fashion show in the Good Things Together group on Ravelry starts Feb 7. The theme is After Dark. I don’t want to share the whole outfit until the show, but here’s a teaser for the first part of it. I’ve got lots of plans for this show, whether I accomplish them is another thing.
simple little raglan at the moment.
Finished this week
1. Well to properly celebrate ‘After Dark’ my dolls needed a blanket!
A granny square rectangle, using sock weight yarn and measuring 12in x 8in, fits the bill nicely.
2. Finished KAL with AwesomeSister!
Doggy! EXTREMELY FLUFFY DOGGY!!!
Katie tried to lick him. 
Spinning
I am nearly out of the blue! Fiber Optic Merino/Silk blend. This is working up super smooth.

This is where I would normally post a Katie picture… look above for your fix! 
That poodle is cute!!
I take 99.9% of my cat pictures (and everything else, actually) with my phone because it’s quiet (less likely to alert the kitties that I’m taking a picture) and always near me. True, the qualities not what it would be with an actual dedicated camera, but nothing a little cropping and tweaking in Picasa can’t fix.
gah! Your comment was lost in my email, sorry for the late reply!
Katie doesn’t recognize the iPad as a camera, so apart from the clicky noise she isn’t as bothered.
Lucky.
I have the clicky noise shut off on my phone, and they’ve still figured out that I’m stealing their souls or something.
