So remember how I wrote a few weeks back that the cat goes crazy over my crochet? I decided that Tencents obviously felt left out of the whole hand-made goods thing and she needed a lovely blanket of her own. I had some left over cashmere blend yarn, merino yarn, cashmere-silk blend yarn and from these luscious odds and ends appeared this wonderful blanket. The cat went crazy the minute I put it down and proceeded to roll around and burrow in it like some mole on drugs or something.
The pattern is the ripple and I found it on Lucy's blog. I have delivered this post to you from Ottawa as I am currently away on business. This is also my last week of school before my little 'school break'. I have time for few words so I am leaving you with extra photos of the ripple goodness.

What a gorgeous blanket! I'm so envious of your beautiful cat!
Amazing! and I'm always so envious of your photos...with or without sunshine, by day or by night, outside or inside you get always so beautiful pictures!!! These are glorious, Raina.
Enjoy your next "school break" and good business
Wow! The cat who got the cream, or in this case, the very, very nice blanket.
The afghan is glorious. The color... so brilliant! One of our cats goes crazy over knitted blankets; She kneads them over and over and over.
I learned some simple crocheting as a little girl. This week, I finally picked up some books and tagged some tutorials online. I'm off to get some new hooks and yarn today. SO excited!
Have a colorful weekend!
WOW--that is such a pretty blankie, Raina! And with all those lux-blend yarns, no wonder Tencents is so happy... LOL! ;o) I can imagine how soft & snuggly that blanket is...mmm... I was going through my stash earlier this week, and I'm thinking some "leftovers" might make a nice ripple throw... It will be my first real crack at rippling. That's me, late to the party. ;o) These are such gorgeous photos--you can feel the snug goodness & love! Enjoy your break from school and work soon--hooray! You are busy, but wanted to say, I'm celebrating my blogiversary this weekend with a little gift giveaway--stop by if you can. ((HUGS))
oh, Brava! Beautiful blankie for Tencents Kitteh!
What a lucky little kitty! Who wouldn't LOVE a bright colorful blanket like that. Nice job!
Such a gorgeous cat deserves a gorgeous blanket! Our cat kneads mt knits with his claws but never seems to pull them. I think they just love wool!
oh! i really wanted to make a ripple blanket... thanks!
yours is lovely!!!!
A cashmere kitty blankie - lucky old Tencents. Glad to see that she really appreciates it. She's one happy puss!
What a lucky kitty! And lucky us -- thanks for taking the time to share with us, even though you're away -- you know how we luv us some Raining Sheep!!! ;-) (Oh, and luckily my cats aren't in the room -- wouldn't want them knowing how much better SOME cats have it!)
Well! Isn't he the pampered puss! Lovely cat, gorgeous blanket!
Well they most certainly are people too and deserve all that blanket goodness without a doubt :) beautiful!good luck for your last week!
Why shouldn't your cat have a cashmere blend blanket! Turned out lovely. Maybe Tencents wouldn't mind sharing those colors would look great in my loving room. :)
That's just awesome. :) Tencents looks unbelievably pleased with her new blankie. lol
The hubby has been telling me I need to do the same thing for one of our kitties that likes to lay on whatever project I have out.
Beautiful blanket (and seems to match everything in your house!)! And you are such a good mama for giving Tencents a blanket for his very own...look at the contentment!!
your picture are wonderful and bursting with happy color as always. she obviously loves her new toy and looks like she will take good care of it :) that's more than i can say for our dog, who has shredded every blanket i've ever given her!
That last photo tells the story perfectly!
Your blanket looks so very cosy.
Lucky kitty!!
Lovelt project. :)
Love your "mole on drugs" description!
Oh deeeelicious! Love the ripple blankets out there - one day soon I'm just going to have to get hooking.
Lovely!!! Nothing cozier than a cat on crochet.
yes...cats are people too...;)
great blanket,Raina
I think this is the nicest ripple blanket I've ever seen.
what a de lux kitty blanket! and recipient seems most pleased and grateful (in a world of ungrateful pets that is a big achievement;) - she's such a sweetie.
oh yesss. cats are most definatly treated like people in our house! there's four of them and one of me (an only child!)
they're probably more spoiled than me ;D
whoa. the word verification thing is an actual word! its usualy some gibberish, but this one is guessing!
