Let us take a step back on this knitting adventure to examine the motivation behind our stichin’. Personally, I believe that knitting is all about love (conceptually). Whether it takes the form of love for thy self or love for others, you are spending your hard pressed time and hard earned cash to make a little somethin’-somethin’ because you care. By its very nature, knitting is about protection—of ears, necks, hands, or even cell phones and yoga mats. Sure, it can be decorative too, but most projects are geared toward keeping our loved ones warm in the winter (or Movie Theater if you live in CA).
For a large group of Americans, visions of unconditional love are often pet-related. In honor of the loving spirit of both knitting and our lingually challenged companions, I thought it apropos to bring your attention to the spinning and knitting of pet hair. Cisco isn’t going to live forever, you know, so why not have a little memento? Saving a pet’s hair has some practical purposes too—someday cloning is going to be affordable for the masses!
What should you make with Sparky’s freshly spun hair? While I think the keepsake heart pattern a bit useless, the picture frame might go nicely with a room already covered in hair.
