It is starting to look like a real item. I am about to join under the armscye (arm hole) and be able to just knit in the round and not have to remember if I have to do a p2tog or a p2tog tbl when I come to a decrease. You also can't tell yet, but I'm doing something fancy with the body lace pattern. You are going to have to wait until I get farther along before I tell you what it is.
This is Tank's little friend who he stalked through various parts of the house. At one point he was staring at the pile of cans we have near our food shelves, then he wouldn't leave the area around the stove. I heard a big commotion from him in the living room/dining room area and wondered if his friend had come out of hiding. I was trying to figure out how to catch him/her while also trying to make sure Tank didn't do too much damage. It was good for me that I had recently clipped Tank's claws.
Little Squeak had managed to crawl into Bill's crate of papers while Tank was distracted. I quickly dumped everything out of the donation box I had and leaned the crate into it. This little guy/gal fell out and I was able to move them without Tank knowing what had happened.
I don't know if Tank did anything to cause their back legs to become non-functional, but that is how I found him/her. Part of me wanted to keep Little Squeak, but I knew a lot of reasons not to. You can't really explain to the animal that you are going to take care of it and not eat it. Tank would have also figured out where I was keeping it at some point and become obsessed trying to "play" with it. So I put him/her outside and I hope the best for them.
