This is Pirate, the irascible. When he wanted to be petted, you were allowed exactly 3 strokes. Anything after that would earn you a CHOMP.
A tuxedo cat stands by a chair; he looks like he's confronting the viewer with a harsh question.

Ooh! We only saw bright pink/red about 40 miles north of Cbus. It was pretty amazing!

We had similar views in central Ohio!

It's morning here, but rainy & gloomy & cold. Harumph.

Pirate, the irascible (RIP).
A black and white cat rests his head on a fish-shaped pillow, with a blue blanket under him. He looks annoyed.

(My brother made the little picnic table for my partner, who loves squirrels.)

Working on a lace cape for a friend. Made from Malabrigo, so it's a joy to knit with!

Was able to knit a baby sweater for a colleague who is expecting. Life continues.
A gold-colored baby sweater drying on a mat; there's a fancy stitch pattern around the yoke, bottom, and sleeve ends. On the upper left, part of a yellow stuffed octopus is visible.

American friends who don't watch cycling: you have really missed something today! (Well, the sport itself is great & you're missing a lot, but today's events are probably going to make the non-sports news.) #Vuelta #Vuelta2025
A crowd of protestors, some waving Palestinian flags, streams across a road in Madrid where there are some signposts marking 8km left in the race. In the background, protestors blocking the road, waving Palestinian flags. In the foreground, a line of cops in riot gear, observing.

On the ANGLIRU: Just keep pedaling, pedaling, pedaling!

Hi!
A tuxedo cat in an empty microwave box looks at a tabby cat not in a box. A tabby with a white bib and white toes looks out of a box through the square that has been cut out of it like a door or window.

Our beloved goof Abby, a tabby, with a chicken friend (a knitted Emotional Support Chicken I made for my niece).
A tabby cat who looks really annoyed faces the camera; next to her is a knitted chicken.

I SAW THE DEVIL.
(Finally watching the replay of today's TT stage, still spinning the sage-colored single.) #TourDeFrance #TdF2025 #TourDeFleece #DidiTheDevil
Once again, the Tour de France on a television in the background, spinning wheel in the foreground.

My only Tour de Fleece 2025 goal is to spin (or ply) every day or nearly every day that I watch the race. So far, so good on stage 2! This is the 2nd single for a 2-ply yarn. I think I spun the 1st single during last year's Vuelta, lol. #TdF2025 #Kromski #TourdeFleece #TourdeFrance 🇫🇷🚴‍♂️🇫🇷

Welcome to knitting! Here is an Emotional Support Chicken I made for a friend who had to have a scary surgery (my way of sending hugs from far away).
A knitted chicken, dark grey with purple stripes, sits on a bed of fake berries on our rattan porch chair.
