Ferocious monster

Sunday afternoon I was skeining sock yarn (I so need an electric skeiner!!!!) and reading Spin-Off (the last issue, as recommended by Laura) (skeining is dreadfully dull, and requires little attention, so I can read while doing it. Even books with no pictures, not just magazines.) (Did I mention that I need an electric skeiner??) when suddenly everything just… stopped.

I looked down, and the yarn was firmly clamped in Morgan’s jaws. As soon as I noticed him, Morgan began purring at full volume. You’ll notice that purring doesn’t involve opening the jaws.

I did get the yarn away from him, and distracted him with a paper ball, but it’s a good thing that yarn gets washed before going in the dyepot.

Edit: Since this is still the top Google result for “ferocious monster” (as of November 2011), I thought a picture was in order.

    P.S. summer 2007 issue–self striping socks! It made me hanker for variegated roving, and that was before you just posted all the stockinged feet pictures.

Welcome!

I’ve been doing stuff with string for quite some time, and describing it to others online since 1996 or so at Phiala’s String Page.

I also do some science and write some fiction.

I’m Phiala most places on the internet.
